'80's Metropolitan Concept car, anyone want a scan? :?)

I was looking thru one of the old SIA ( Special Interest Autos )
magazines I'd bought at Carlisle last year, which had a Jeep history article
in it. While thumbing thru thoroughly this time, I noticed a lineart
picture...hey! That looks like a Metro! It was, it was an AMC engineering
exercise during the early '80's when some of the older engineers were trying
to revive some interesting ideas because they weren't satisified with all the
"progressive" ideas of the time. They had the front end looking like a Spirit
with the squared headlights, with the old Metro grill, and a tapered more
aerodynamic rear glass area, but the door was pretty much lifted right from
the old Metro, as were the rooflines, it looked pretty "interesting", to say
the least. It's a half-page article/picture, I can scan it and send it along
to any interested parties. Just let me know. I'll scan it today, and have it
ready to go!
