American Motors eXperimental
1978 Concord AMX
Excitement is the word for the new AMX.
From the sweep of the front fender to the flair of the rear deck, AMX's bold design transforms everyday driving into an exciting experience.
You'll know AMX by the racy side identification, front and rear painted bumpers, front air dam, stylish front and rear fender /flares and rear window louvers. And check the dual flat black mirrors, roof band, color-coordinated slot styled wheels, and the mean, blacked out grille.
Inside AMX you'll be turned on to a floor console, rally gauges with tachometer, unique door trim panels, brushed aluminum instrument panel and the "soft-feel" sport steering wheel. Enjoy every minute in the comfort of your soft-feel vinyl bucket seats trimmed smartly in black, blue or beige. Wrap it all up in one of these bold colors! Firecracker Red, Sunshine Yellow, Quick Silver Metallic, Alpine White or a special Classic Black with gold accents. Then add options like air conditioning and AM/FM stereo to help you adapt your AMX to the weather or your mood.
AMX: An exciting sporty car that makes driving come alive at an affordable price. With the exclusive AMC BUYER PROTECTION PLAN.
