When the AMC Eagle first came out, they were a very big hit for people who lived in Alaska!!! AMC Dealerships in Alaska couldn't hardly keep them in stock, as they would be immediately sold once they arrived at the dealership. I imagine there are quite a few of them in Alaska still running around. When AMC first introduced it, it was state-of-the-art, and way ahead of its time with absolutely no competiton from any other manufacturer, except maybe the little Subaru 4x4 station wagon and the little Subaru 4x4 Justy during the same time period. Later, when AMC went out of business, Chrysler Corporation bought the Jeep Division of AMC. The rest of the AMC line faded into history.
