Hi everyone

Latest Restored cars magazine July/August edition #255 has a page on Paul Johnstone's 1964 4 door Ambassador. Paul takes this car each year the the Australian AMC/Rambler show in Albury/Wodonga each year and Eddie Ford photographed it and a few others and has, and is, doing some articles on some of our AMC/Ramblers

If you see any local AMC/Ramblers in any magazine be sure to let everyone know about it and also dont be shy emailing the magazine saying you enjoyed the article or add some more info to their take on the vehicle. The more they see people do have an interest in these cars the more likely they will do more articles on the AMC/Ramblers which will help their preservation in the long term

Retro Auto's magazine has a nice article this month on Colin Mains beautiful Canadian built RHD classic hardtop which was one of the cars present at the first Australian AMC show. Hopefully Colin is able to bring it again next year for all to see for the 5th Australian AMC show. Please feel free to add comments to the retro auto comment section as the more AMC/Rambler comments the more AMC articles they will run. I think the Javelin gets a spot in next issue or so too Tongue

Retro Auto magazine that is one of the better magazines around these days (this one on-line only) has an article on the Hornet's featuring one of the nicest original Australian assembled Hornets left in Australia. This car will be at next years show again for everyone to have a look at. 

https://www.shannons.com.au/club/news/retroautos-october-2017-exclusive-ford-ltd-prototypes-plus-67-valiant-v870horne/

and click "View Magazine"

David will be doing a few AMC's over the course of the next 18months

To show there is some genuine interest in AMC's try to leave some comments about the article and Hornets and AMC's in general. The more people that do the more they will see the interest in AMC's. It will only take you a minute to do and Shannons use comments to gauge what they will keep doing or avoid. Lets show them AMC's really were and are an important part of the Australian motoring landscape Smile

Hi everyone

Look out in Retro Auto's online magazine for a few articles on AMC's over the next few issues. David Burrell the editor is currently doing articles on our AMI (Australian Motor Industries) assembled cars. Coming very soon is stories on the Australian Javelin's, Hornet and I think Classic's with many more to come. I think he is looking at a series over about 18months. It is a great magazine with many photo's and info you don't see anywhere else. All previous issues are available to view as well. And its free :-)

usually you view from the Shannons website but it can be found by googling etc as well. Some well researched articles and really looking forward to the AMC one's

For our American followers there is lots of US stuff as well. The one about what the original Oldsmobile Toronado was really supposed to look like is amazing. The shorter version is one smart looking car

Anyhow latest version is below. Once on this page press link to magazine

https://www.shannons.com.au/club/news/retroautos-may-2017-xr-falcon-gts-50th-anniversary/

I have already put David Burrell onto a couple of cars to get started and as he asks for more I will put the word out for original examples and any other information he may be after

Happy AMC'ing

There is an article on Clem Smiths 1955 AMC built Hudson Hornet with Twin H-Power in the recent edition of Restored cars (May-June #236). This car was at the 2nd annual AMC/Rambler show in 2015 where the article's photo's were taken and is a totally original and unrestored car. Its amazing how a car that old can be preserved and still look near new after 60years!

Yes, that's the one. Here it is in Pennsylvania in 2010, just prior to the AMO show in Detroit. We'd only just finished it 2 days before.


Off we go !


Made it !


Winner !

Now, you see the magazine the owner's holding up ? That's a Wheels magazine, November 1970. Some of you might have that one; it's got the Gremlin on the front. That's all he had to go by to restore the car.

Aussie flags are a nice touch, but some Yanks thought they were NZ flags.



On the seatbelt thing, I'll start a separate thread as this one's drifting off a bit (my fault)
1970 Javelin 360/727
1974 Levis Gremlin X 304/904
1964 American Convertible
1974 Matador wagon (parts)
2016 Holden Cruze Equipe
2014 Holden Colorado

As for the Aussie one going back to the US, well, I'm to blame for that.

Is that the one and only Aussie Gremlin being loaded up for the US? Cry
