Bring a little independent-car spirit to your space with an AMC Gremlin tin candle. The Gremlin arrived on April 1, 1970, as AMC's boldly shortened Hornet-based subcompact, earning attention for its unmistakable short-tail silhouette and unconventional approach to the small-car market. Made for fans of American Motors, garage decor, and 1970s automotive history, this candle is a fitting accent for a workbench, den, office, or collector display.
The AMC Gremlin was American Motors Corporation's subcompact economy car, introduced on April 1, 1970, and sold in the United States through 1978 in a single two-door body style. AMC design chief Dick Teague and stylist Bob Nixon developed the idea from a shortened version of AMC's compact Hornet, giving the car its distinctive truncated, kammback-like rear. AMC marketed it as "the first American-built import" while competing with domestic rivals such as the Ford Pinto and Chevrolet Vega, plus imports including the Volkswagen Beetle and Toyota Corolla. The Gremlin was built in the United States and Canada, while AMC's Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos subsidiary manufactured versions in Mexico from 1974 to 1983. The model evolved through X, Custom, and GT packages and offered four-, six-, and V8-cylinder engines at different points. After 671,475 Gremlins were produced, AMC replaced it for 1979 with the restyled AMC Spirit, which continued through 1983. In Mexico, VAM retained the Gremlin name for its Spirit-based sedan through 1983.
