The Cars!
Presented By Series Number

AMC used two digit numbers to internally designate each body type. These were called "Series Numbers". Other manufacturers commonly used letters to internally designate different bodies (such as the GM "F" body, Camaro and Firebird). The list is further broken into models that used similar bodies so they could easily be covered on a single page.

The list below includes the name that the cars were sold under. Basically, cars were sold under Nash and Hudson badges through 1957. Starting in 1958 "Rambler" was used as the company brand name. A phase-out of the Rambler name started in 1966 in favor of the corporate name (American Motors). For two years both the American Motors and Rambler name were used, ending with the "American Motors Rambler" in 1969. The Rambler name continued in most overseas markets, so there was a Rambler Hornet, etc., in Australia, South Africa, Mexico, and other countries -- just not in the U.S. or Canada. The company initials first saw use as the brand name in 1974, and was used until the Chrysler buy-out in 1988. Chrysler named their new division Eagle, after the only car still in production that was designed wholly by the company. The Eagle Division sold the Premier and several "captive imports".  It was dropped and remaining product line merged into other divisions after 1992.
