?While searching through a Ebay seller's AMC literature, I stumbled
across a couple I have never seen before. ?These have to be concept
cars, but beautifully done. Here's the links below :

I'd thought I'd seen all the AMC concept car photos before, but these
two, especially the rambler wagon, seemed new to me, I'd never seen
them before that I ever recall. This vendor also has photos of the
'58 Metro wagon, AMX wagon 1967 (3 different ones at that ), and a
few others I've seen already. I really LIKE that '66 wagon, a real
beauty, shame they didn't produce this one.?

OK, Brian Moyer has the Gremlin Voyager prototype in his Gremlin
collection that still exists.
The 58 Metropolitan Wagon prototype is in the Metropolitan Pit Stop
in Los Angeles , California, so that still exists also. A couple
people have built Metro wagons too.
The 1966 Station Wagon, this is more obscure, it was another show car
circa 1966 , and it was called either the Saint Moritz or Sans
Moritz, after a ski resort in either Switzerland or the Italian Alps
on the Swiss border, I believe. I think there was a winter Olympics
that year there, so that is why the winter scene , skis etc. The
wagon unfortunately has never been heard of again to my knowledge.
Oh, and it's more a Javelin station wagon then an AMX station wagon.
That was the prototype for the Hornet Station Wagon. Although I also
thought the idea of Javelin was not a bad idea, but that is a whole
different story.
