The company was a watershed year in which the AMC has tried to withdraw was the "old guard Rambler" and inaugurate a new era of AMC models lableled only. The Hornets hit series will replace the U.S. model next year and the rebirth of a famous name or model of the old Hudson day would come the end of the line of the venerable American series.
