Default Re: Resurrecting the Rambler

Yeah Tom, I guess it's the curvature of the letters inside that graphic that bugs me the most. It's like they had to squeeze them in there after the fact or something. The flames are well...flames which I'm not normally a fan of, and they're not really all that well done. Looks like a burning bush! Wish the letters inside looked more like the large block ones on the doors as is pictured on this other red car.
Maybe if AMC had gone with something more like the old Dusters had, (pictured), putting the very large engine numbers across the hood but instead of those maybe use the door-style AMX letters and put them inside a flat-blacked out rise of the hood, that would have been more appealing to my personal taste. But they didn't, so I'll go with what they had. It's the garish nature of the late '70's, gotta go with it man!
