The AMC Eagle was well ahead of its time. But AMC quickly went in another direction, despite the Eagle being a success.

Every time we see an AMC Eagle, we are reminded of just how influential the model ended up being, even though it was launched at a precarious time for AMC and was quickly overshadowed by other corporate developments. The Kenosha automaker used the Concord platform in creating the Eagle, adding four-wheel drive, and it seemed clear from the start that this transformation was greater than the mere sum of its parts suggested.

Those versions are far rarer than the station wagon—and were even rare at the time they were new.A few publications at the time of the model's debut in late 1979 took a swipe at its exterior design. Viewed through today's eyes it actually seems rather traditional, with woodgrain being one of the major time stamps of the era.But its lifted suspension perhaps barely even registers as something unusual today. That's how familiar wagons and crossovers have become over the past 30 years.
