AMC Javelin

AMC was once one of the big Detroit automakers, but the company fell on hard times in the 1970s and ’80s. There were other four-seat sports cars on the market at the time, but the Javelin had a unique look. The styling was unorthodox compared to other sports cars on the market at the time (via Hemmings).

But despite this, its engine was unreliable and its interior quality was cheaply made. It wasn’t a success for AMC and the car was discontinued as a result. The Javelin was one of many cars that contributed to the downfall of AMC. The muscle car segment was crowded during this era and the Javelin didn’t do anything to separate itself.
