Alliance Convertible 1.7

STORY

The Alliance was AMC's version of the Renault 9, built in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and introduced in September 1982. Motor Trend named it its 1983 Car of the Year; UPI reported the award on 4 January 1983 and described the car as on sale since its September introduction. A 2.0 litre GTA joined in 1987. The Encore hatchback followed a little over a year after the Alliance. Chrysler bought AMC on 9 March 1987, and Alliance production ended on 5 June 1987.
