AMC Pacer

The Pacer is a car that is equally loved and hated but is still legendary and recognizable. It was AMC’s effort to produce a compact car but it turned out to be less compact than its competitors and had numerous flaws. Today, we’ll cover only the design aspect of this infamous model (via Hagerty).

After the success of the Gremlin, the Pacer was conceived to be more extensive and advanced, but its design was repelling. The large glass areas were practical but also looked like bubbles. The front end was far from beautiful and the silhouette was egg-shaped, which was strange and unheard of at that time.
