Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!! Yes indeed, a 1977 AMC Pacer Wagon! Goofy thing was nearly half as wide as it was long and rode on a 100" wheelbase. An old high school friend's parents had one (trading in their Gremlin) and it was actually kind of a cool/weird car. Laughably under-powered and yes, on those hot summer days in the Midwest the interior became a boiling lobster pot, but still, you could do about anything with it/in it and it was cheap on gas. The interior space of this bulbous little gnome was enormous and defrosting the miles of glass in the Winter was nearly impossible.
An awful looking car that made a statement wherever it went. Unfortunately that statement was something like "We do not care that we are driving a horrific looking car because out of all the other cars around us, you noticed US!" Heck, bring back the Pacer!!
