Description / Story

The Rebel with a Cut-Off Tail ​"If you had to compete with GM, Ford and Chrysler, what would you do?" This brilliant ad from the early 70s captures the defiant spirit of American Motors (AMC). While Detroit's "Big Three" were churning out look-alike subcompacts, AMC released the Gremlin X—a car that broke every design rule. Featuring the iconic "Kammback" rear, side stripes, and slot-style wheels, this ad boldly positions the Gremlin X not just as a car, but as a statement of individuality against conformity. A true icon of 70s counter-culture.
