all right you old dudes, how many of you remember this?

I’m not quite old enough to remember that.
The earliest specific thing I remember that others would also remember was Nixon announcing his resignation on TV, and my parents explaining it to me though I only had the most rudimentary understanding of what was going on.
Years later in high school I remember my friend driving a purple Gremlin. In retrospect I’m surprised “purple Gremlin” never struck my teenage mind as a chuckle-inducing euphemism.

I remember the Gremlin, not the Levi’s version. I also remember how bad the AMC/Gremlin sucked as a car company. They also made the Pacer!
I drove a ‘72 Gremlin in high school - ‘76-‘80. Wasn’t privileged enough to find one with Levi seat covers though. 
Pretty sure Jeep was part of the brand and Chrysler bought it when AMC folded.I remember the Gremlin, not the Levi’s version. I also remember how bad the AMC/Gremlin sucked as a car company. They also made the Pacer!
Javelin, Hornet, Matador, Gremlin, Pacer, then later Eagle logo. Javelin/AMX with the 390 has some real value.
A friend’s Dad had a dark green pacer that looked somewhat like that picture. We took to calling that car The Fishbowl, which irritated my friend’s parents a bit. Thanks for bringing back a funny memory!I remember the Gremlin, not the Levi’s version. I also remember how bad the AMC/Gremlin sucked as a car company. They also made the Pacer!
Hilarious. As kids we made fun of Pacers.
denim seats…surprised you didn’t get a pet rock with each car
You could only drive them if you were wearing your Earth Shoes.
The company operated as Nash for a few decades before becoming AMC in 1954. They produced a number of interesting, if not attractive, cars under both names.
My dad had a Nash Rambler for a short time when I was a kid. Reminded me of this song .
At my age, I do of course remember it. Funny little thing. A friend visited me in boot camp (1956) driving a HUDSON Rambler. I think it had a Packard v8. Small car, but extremely fast. Some strange cars in those days.
we used to call them roller skates......I remember the Gremlin, not the Levi’s version. I also remember how bad the AMC/Gremlin sucked as a car company. They also made the Pacer!
I had that exact same Gremlin except it was a 1974. Blue, white hockey stripe 304 eight cylinder with the Levi interior. Paid four thousand at the time which was three hundred more than my buddy paid for his 1974 red jeep pickup.
