    Posted: Dec/17/2015 at 6:58am
I was cleaning out some old mag's from my folks place over the Thanksgiving Day Weekend. My Dad has saved Popular Mechanics Magazines since the 1940's to present. I picked out the best ones that related anything AMC. One of the best is this article call "How the Gremlin Lost its Tail"....one on one interview with Teague. I have never seen this before, but he did a great job (as usual) representing AMC and the power of being the underdog/small group and quick reaction.

Enjoy.
