AMC Eagle
Conceived in the late ’70s, the Eagle was AMC’s answer to the rising popularity of AWD vehicles and SUVs, and AMC decided to combine their compact sedan and wagon lineup with a strict and proven Jeep AWD system. The result was a surprisingly good and capable vehicle with the comfort and luxury of a sedan, compact dimensions, relatively low weight, and excellent off-road characteristics. The Eagle was one of the first, if not the first, crossover models in the world, and only Today can we see how important and influential this car really was.
