3. AMC Pacer
The Pacer is a car that is equally loved and hated but sure is legendary and recognizable. It was AMC’s effort in producing a compact car, but it turned out to be less compact than its competitors and with numerous flaws. Today, we will only cover the design aspect of this infamous model.
After the success of the Gremlin, Pacer was conceived to be bigger and more advanced but its design was repelling. The large glass areas were practical but also looked like a bubble. The front end was far from beautiful and the silhouette was egg-shaped which was strange and unheard of at the time.
