It’s Wednesday. The AMC Gremlin. It was quirky, boxy, and somehow both too long and too short at the same time. We were out in the Vette over the weekend and stumbled upon this beast parked in someone’s driveway. It was an AMC Gremlin in Daisy Yellow. It was a surprise because you just don’t see these out in the wild anymore. It immediately brought back memories of my childhood, because we actually had a purple one back in the mid 70s. It was my mom’s and it was what she used to cart my sister and I around in. As a kid, I thought it was the coolest thing because it had a hatch and you could fold the rear bench seat down. I liked it so much that I built an AMT model kit of a Gremlin and painted it to match ours exactly.
By the early 80s my Dad redefined my idea of cool when he sold the Gremlin and brought home a 1972 Corvette coupe with T-tops!
