So wait, instead of that we got the Eagle?

I'd call it a draw at this point.

Now that's unkind.

[BmillsSkier]

Ok, give me the wood-sided Eagle, damnit.

[Aldo]

Gotta admit That thing would be badass with the wood and a luggage rack on back deck

I think we’re getting somewhere now.

Buster, it’s a nice shape, kinda Panera-ish, but I’ll never be able to touch one, much less drive it.

The Eagle on the other hand....

Like you're going out and laying down some bread for a PanTera?

Oh God no, I’m much too sensible to do such a thing.

I can burn money in way more ridiculous ways.

so you’re a mangusta man? Or One of the fabulous 4 doors?

A vacuous comparison then for the Italian American bred.

It is never my intent to impugn the Italian-American population.

I only contest that the good folks at AMC may have had some inspiration from our friends at De Tomaso.

The Eagle was certainly their most original effort. AMX III looks like it would have been an interesting chapter, though.

I think I made the right choice using that Pantera money as a down payment on a house. But I do have my doubts.

Given the choice amongst 4 doors, it's hard to deny a vehicle that inspires poetry such as this:

I picture myself ambling through the Connecticut countryside on an expectant spring morning, hovering weightlessly above the hum of my daytons, bespoke falconry set stowed behind me and a crisp gimlet awaiting me at my destination. The three speed transmission affords effortless poise as I sink into the sangria houndstooth, lighting another Merit and taking a cool earthy draw. Wood paneling, at every internal vantage, lulls me into memories of my Grandfather's smokehouse. He was an AMC Eagle man, and so am I.

In your preference for an Eagle? Counselor, your line of reasoning seems elliptic.

In your preference for an Eagle? Counselor, your line of reasoning seems elliptic.

Almost like a Venn diagram of any car discussion involving forward-looking design, the utility of wagons vs the pleasure of a sports car, and European vs domestic influence, the AMC Eagle lies at the beginning, middle and end.

[Buster Highmen]

Which conic section is that?

[BmillsSkier]

Clearly its where the red one and the wood-paneled one approach eachother, but never touch.

I think.

Is that the Archimedean Recursive Half Sport Wagon?

I thought your were drawing points.

Years ago in the spring after the lifts had closed, we went for a hike up to ski patches on Cascade at Killington. Feeling pretty accomplished getting some good laps in up there we rested between runs. Out of nowhere a dark blue AMC Eagle wagon with the trademark wood side panels emerged from the work road below us and proceeded to park on the side of the trail. This very eye catching couple got out and God dammit if the didn't have the most smug " I just drove up here in my classy 4wd wood grained wagon and you didn't" look on there faces..... I still remember it to this day. It's like these fuckers had just finished shooting an AMC commercial down in the valley and decided to let off some steam.... They really weren't very friendly either, it was like we were crowding their perfect AMC Eagle world. I won't forget them....

We tend to moreso jump to conclusions round here.

Refined, tasteful, cultured, adventurous, civilized, discerning, indulgent; these are all words I've personally heard used when referring to an AMC Eagle owner.

Never smug, sir.

Never.

[Aldo]

Inclined to agree with you and maybe that's just my point - something just didn't add up. It was like they escaped from Westworld.....

[Buster Highmen]

I knew a smug Gremlin owner.

[dunfree]

I guess they never got it wet or fed it after midnight?

Phuk yeah. They had a few that I'd be happy to own and this is definitely one of them (but the paint is a bit midwestern gaudy).
