AMERICAN MOTORS MATADOR

5/6-seater saloon, hardtop coupé, estate.

Longer wheelbase (118ins compared to 114ins) replacement for Rebel, still smaller than Ambassador. Clever parts-bin juggling by struggling AMC, but frankly little appeal in Britain. Only sold here 1975-1977, but how many? Who cares?
