Many automotive enthusiasts from this generation credit the Subaru brand with creating the cladded station wagon. But it was actually the company that founded Jeep who blessed us with a lifted wagon. The AMC Eagle was an off-road capable family wagon. Famous for its tall ride height and interesting look the Eagle was a far cry from anything else. The Eagle actually managed to sell pretty well during its heyday. Buyers were intrigued by the interesting design and the driving fundamentals of this car. The Eagle was most popular in states where weather gets bad during the Winter season.

Sadly in today’s market, the AMC Eagle is a dying breed. The car just doesn’t get any attention and used examples are oftentimes poorly taken care of. The AMC brand, in general, is what brought us the Jeep, but the brand is often overshadowed as well. Still, the Eagle was a cool car that revolutionized off-roading.
