American Motors Corporation introduced the AMC Gremlin in 1970. One of my friend’s in high school had one that was a faded purple with white stripes. It looked like a high top tennis shoe. What fun it would be to have one of these rides!

1972 Trailer-Train, Milwaukee marshaling yard, November 1971.

More than 30 delicious AMC Gremlins, Hornets and Sportabouts take a ride on a tractor trailer. On the top is a 1972 Javelin SST and behind it Matadors and Ambassadors. Location: Milwaukee Marshaling Yard, November 1971.

From the original source: “How many of you ever saw one of these Trailer Trains loaded with new American Cars, much less American Motors cars?”
