AMC Hornet 360
The AMC brand was an instrumental part of the American automotive industry. But by the time the 1960s and ’70s rolled around the brand was on the way to extinction because of many reasons. The AMC Hornet 360 was the final hurrah. The graphics package and the 360 V8 were decent options for a compact muscle car (via Hemmings).
Nevertheless, the reliability of the V8 engine was questionable at best and the company didn’t have the money to invest in R&D for their products. If AMC was a better-funded company, the Hornet 360 could have been more popular. The Hornet 360 never sold well and the car was discontinued as a result.
