How about scans and pics of 'stuff' from dealerships? I'll start with this business card. I always thought it was a good looking card, and a full color business card on glossy stock in late 70's couldn't have been too cheap!

All right! I live for this kind of stuff! Tongue  A sticker from where I worked (hard to scan because it's foil):
 
 
And a sticker I removed from a Rambler in the boneyard about 25 years ago:
 
 
Some oil change stickers from the same place:
 
 
The back end of my '77 (I need to find another one of these):
 
 
Where my parents bought their Sportabout and Gremlin:
 
 
And speaking of keychains, I already found and photographed this place for the Lost Dealership Project:

I've got a perfect baby blue womans comb with bobbi pins at the top.  It's got "KING MOTORS  Next time try a Rambler" printed on the top.  Also have two NOS dealer stickers from Mark Birdnow AMC-Jeep Inc. Oelwein, Iowa.  One is white letters on a gold background, the other is black over gold.  I tried to post a picture but, I may as well try DYI brain surgery.

Black and gold - I wonder.........
I'll have to see if I have any of the keychains I got when I bought my AMX.

Hi, I'm curious how you got those Mark Birdnow dealer stickers? I have a lot of memorabilia from my store:
Hi, My name is Mark Birdnow. I was the AMC-Jeep dealer in Oelwein Iowa for about five years until it closed in the early 80's. I did write a cover story for the AMO magazine (Jan/Feb) 2004 issue about how I became the youngest AMC dealer in the country.
I have quite a few documents from that time, including my original franchise papers, etc.
I am still an active auto dealer. I have a multi line dealership still in Oelwein Iowa. http://www.birdnow.com/ - www.birdnow.com is our website.

You sold me a box of catalogs many years back and they were in the bottom of the box along with price books from the early and mid 70's.  Also had some salesman buttons that say "Pacer Lover" etc.  Agter I posted the first time I went back to look at the dealer stickers.  They are not printed on a gold back ground.  They are printed on a clear sticker.

I have a gremlin go cart body that I bought from Northside AMC Jeep in the mid seventies. Rupp made go carts for some kind of promotion. There was a spare body and I bought it. It would take some time to get pics of it because it is stored away. Northside AMC was located in Indianapolis In.Where I was a mechanic.

The general sales manager of Roselle AMC/Jeep in Schaumburg, IL was a gentleman named Larry Matson.  Roselle was the fifth largest dealership in the country back in the mid '70's.  I was good friends with Larry.  He purchased Staral and renamed it Matson AMC/Jeep.  Also the first photo of the business card from Bennett takes me back.  I knew Ken Bennett, the owner of the dealership.

Would have been a nice card being glossy stock and 4 spot colors.
GREAT Stuff.  Beginning to do these vinyl remakes of the dealers stuff.  Layouts the same, just vinyl letters instead of a sticker.  But want to look into those Oil Change stickers, too cool.

I'll have to get pics of the aluminum signs that I have with a tag attached for Concord (sold the Spirit one), aluminum with "engraved" type lettering and coloring..

Any thing for consideration for remake, shoot me a pic and e-mail.

Interesting the dealer information pictures  I got from the order forms for US dealers were reversed with American Motors on the top line and dealership name on the botton, and my frames are smaller in hheight on the top line than the bottm.
 
Did you want new ones created?  I'll add the pics to my file for reference, thanks!

Here is some AMC dealer items purchased from Mascot Motors. Most of this would have came from AMI (Australian Motor Industries). Mascot Motors purchased all of the AMI Rambler stock in the early 80's. AMI last produced AMC's in 1977.

Here are some unused window banners












I don't know if these are period items. Can any shed some light on the two AMX belt buckles?

Here are some parts I have picked up over the years, most came from a old dealer out in Martinsburg WV I used to go to back in my college days, late 80's.

This came from the dealer that was close to the house I grew up in. For those in the DC area, this dealer eventually moved and became Tyson's AMC/Jeep

I found this while I was cleaning up the shop. The parts prices were good until July 1989 so I imagine the catalog came out around 1988. Byers claimed to be the "Worlds Largest AMX & Javelin Parts Supplier".  It's no wonder that you "Buckeyes' have all those parts stashed away LOL   Note the prices back then Shocked Those were the good ole days!

This thread is very entertaining. I am an Area Manager for Chrysler and have been in several of these dealers and related dealers for work. Byers above this post is particularly interesting because they still have microfiche and AMC binders stashed throughout the wholesale parts warehouse. Its funny how dealers dont really change. Most places that were dealers decades ago still sell cars, even if the names and brands change and many names from the past still grace dealers today. Very cool stuff.

My father worked for Sayre Motors back in the 60's. Sadly the former owner recently passed away.

Jeff worked at Dick Clifton. My dad bought his AMX restored from Clifton in Columbus in the mid 80s and met Jeff. He still has the Dick Clifton AMC Jeep Renault license plate frames. At the time, Jeff or one of the other employees had a factory pink humpster AMX that was parked at the dealer.

Wilhelmi's AMC went out of buisness around 1980. They had an auction and I bought some of the shop items. There was a wooden shop desk that I bought and it had a bunch of the Wilhelmis stickers in it. The buildings and lot have been sold and there is a Kroger grocery store there now.A lot of the sheetmetal and that sort of parts were stored at McElroys in the Crestwood area but were sold about 4 years ago in auction! mostly Nash and old Rambler stuff.

Wilhelmi's AMC was at the corner of Bardstown Road and Douglas Boulevard.  When he sold out, the franchise went to Cross Motors, which was Pontiac-GMC back then.  That would've been around 1985.  Wilhelmi's was Douglas Rambler, and prior to that, Douglas Hudson Motors [still under same family ownership] at the same location.

The last East End AMC dealership was Blue Grass AMC/Jeep/Renault, in the Blue Grass Lincoln-Mercury building at 4301 Shelbyville Road.  AMC pulled their franchise in 1985, after several broken promises to build a new AMC/Jeep showroom.  The Vine family also had AMC-Jeep previously in the building next to Tafel Motors, and at one time Tafel also had AMC/Jeep.  In the late '70's, the building that's now Oxmoor Hyundai came to life as AMC East, and was owned by Wade Swope.

Hausman Motors Jeep was seemingly forever at 909 East Market downtown.

Hannah Rambler was downtown, in the 1960's...I believe they were on 3rd, near the old Jim Cooke Buick.

Across the river, Walt Bales had Rambler City in the early '60's, next to the Clark Bridge [Second Street Bridge].  In the early 1970's, George Sutton VW, over on what's now Lewis and Clark Parkway, dropped the Beetle to become Sutton AMC, and then Greentree AMC.  I worked in the parts department at Greentree AMC when it was bought out and the name changed to Indian Village AMC...which lasted about 6 months in 1979-80.

And I believe Masterbilt started as a transmission repair shop, at the corner of Vincennes and [rear] Market streets in New Albany, IN.  By the early 1970's they were gone.

A friend and fellow model car club member brought these treasures to our last meeting:

A few mint in the box '63 Rambler promo models.


The end panel of the box describes the contents and the colors, which are factory original colors.


This is the shipping carton that they were sent to the dealer in from Jo-Han Models, the company that produced all the Rambler promos.


This is another view of the shipping carton with the contents ink stamped on the side.


A couple of these promos have, according to the previous owner, never been out of their packaging. My friend very generously gave me an empty promo box he got from this deal. I have a resin '63 Rambler model that I will display in it when it is done.

Mike, those are nice, about $1500 for the pair. I've seen them go for over $700 each on ebay. Too rich for my blood these days. But I did manage to pick up a 1970 Trans-Am models . The only one I've seen so far. LRDaum
