TheAMCForum.com NewsPad

Coming soon - I will be arranging to apply a software upgrade to the forum. This will add some features and enhancements, fix a couple of minor annoyances, and add better detection of current devices, browsers and operating systems.
For a short time during the upgrade process, the forum will be unavailable as the database will be locked so changes can be applied.
I will post a specific time period once that has been decided, but I am hoping this takes place before the end of April, hopefully in the next week or so.

We will soon be adding a new forum, or area, to TheAMCForum.com.
This new area will be for AMC history, heritage and documentation related to American Motors Corporation, the company. It will not specific to cars but be anything to do with AMC, member companies, companies it owned over the years (Wheel Horse, for example), how AMC came about, the people, the plants, the dealerships, perhaps information or papers related to the purchase of Jeep, and bringing that into the AMC family, memorabilia, the logo designs, official company color information and so on.
The dealership project in the forum is also an example of what will end up in the new area.
It would be nice to have or include photos of the plants and factory, documents and articles - perhaps scans or pictures of stock certificates, information dealing with the entire history of AMC as a company, from the very first activity of Nash, Hudson, or the production of the first Kelvinator product to the "end" when Engulf and Devour, er, eh, Chrysler absorbed and dismantled them.
So, get your brochures scanned in, photos organized, historical information and AMC heritage ready to post......
