Yellow paint with red interior looks fabulous. Did Hudson make a convertible on that generation of Hornet?

The Hornet wasn’t available until the 1951 model year. The car above is a 1949 Commodore.

Hudson did make a Hornet convertible when it was released.

I probably like that more than the production car, aside from the headlights being blacked out anyway.

If you're an AMC fan, then you're probably aware of the Big Bad colors available on the Javelin and AMX starting in 1970: Big Bad Green, Big Bad Blue, and Big Bad Orange. Almost completely forgotten is that AMC tested those colors with a small run of Rebels in 1969. Calling those colors "Electric Green", "Tangerine", and "Blue--You Never Knew", just 300 total Rebel Raiders were made. They got AMC's 290 V8 and an automatic. The Raiders were only sold in New York and New Jersey, in conjunction with the New York International Auto Show. There was even a drive-out of 75 Raiders the night before the show opened, just to get the newspapers and radio talking about them. I have no idea how many of those 300 cars still exist, but getting a complete set of three seems like a long shot at this point.

Blue--You Never Knew

AMC: “Dodge names their purple paint Plum Crazy? That’s cute.”

Best name for an automotive paint color I’ve ever heard. I’d get a Rebel Raider just for that.

Dark Green on corvettes is such an underrated but awesome look.

That last one looks like it's from a game.

An S10 done right is an awesome looking truck in my opinion. Everything here is stock. This one is a 1998 single-cab with a StepSide bed in Apple Red with the SS appearance package.

1972 AMC Ambassador Brougham, certainly the left-of-centre option for a family wagon.

1979 AMC Lil' Chief concept. A Pacer-based off-road oriented SUV that never made production. Would've been wicked cool though if it did.

Lovely Rebel Machine themed Gremlin

An AMC Hornet converted into an ute in spirit of the 1971 Jeep Cowboy concept that never was.

This is the perfect sport truck!

This is the perfect sport truck!

I was very keen to buy one some years back...probably close to fifteen, I'd say. It was a Summit White '93 with a blue interior (or grey?), fairly low miles and 17" Impala SS wheels (though the original set of 15s with tires was available to go with it). It was a bit more than I was prepared to spend at a time when I didn't actually need a truck and having only two seats wasn't ideal.

I think this is the most appropriate thread for this. TIL there was a European-market rebodied "Frua" Camaro, based on the 2nd generation F body.

The front works for me...like a cross between an XJS and a Capri - maybe even an Alfa GTV. The rear is kind of a mess unfortunately.

Man, that Lincoln has such a presence going about it. I love it!
