NO AMC car has ever been anything but a total POS.
10 or 12 years ago, I was in Europe on business. We had just driven across the border into Geneva to catch a flight when a ~1965 El Dorado pulled up at the intersection we were crossing. With gas at about 8 bucks a gallon there, I couldn't imagine what it was like to own that car over there

Plus, besides the fuel expense, with a hood that long, the guy had to be extra careful that an airplane didn't mistake it for a runway
