1972 AMC Javelin AMK from Greenlight

Another Greenlight beauty is its 972 AMC Javelin AMK. The detailing on the tire wheels sporting the Goodyear brand is something I've seen only in larger models, This model provides one of the best impressions of realism at this size. 


The real thing

American Motors (AMC) has long since been forgotten in the automotive industry and road users. The company was born from the union of Nash-Kelvinator and Hudson Motor Cars to compete with GM, Ford, and Chrysler..  Sadly, budget issues, market lo0sses and inconsistent vehicle quality lead to the company’s demise in 1987. However, the marque came out with some high performance sporting cars, like the 1972 Javelin AMX, now considered one of the rarest (only 3,220 examples were built) and most exciting (6.6-liter V8, anyone?). The Javelin did not match the sales and glory of its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro rivals, but it did cultivate a good market following.
