STORY

AMC introduced the Pacer for 1975 and built it until 1980. The body was unusually wide for a compact, with a large glass area that gave it the nickname 'the fishbowl'. It came as a hatchback coupe, with a wagon added for 1977. The standard engine was the 232 cu in six, with a 258 cu in six optional, and a 304 cu in V8 became available for 1978.
