Too bad it was never built

AMC AMX/2

The AMC AMX/2 was a concept car built in 1969.

The car was designed by in-house stylists Bob Nixon and Fred Hudson.

The non-working AMX/2 show car featured a "twin" theme, including dual movable spoilers, and was intended to have a mid-mounted engine.

It was unveiled to the public at the 1969 Chicago Auto Show.

Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

Funny enough, two custom Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser wagons were built as 442 models with the W30 package back in the day. This particular tribute model isn’t one of them, but it nonetheless comes equipped with a rip-snortin’ engine under the hood, specifically 455-cube V8 mated to a 700R4 automatic transmission. There’s also power brakes and power steering to make driving it that much easier.
