AMC Gremlin X | Six-wheeler

This is another one of those “I’ll just take a few minutes to see what the idea will look like” photoshop chops. The AMC Gremlin X undoubtedly has odd proportions, so why shouldn’t somebody want to add an extra front axle, similar to the Tyrell Formula 1 car? Totally understandable, isn’t it?

What if downsizing the US land yachts went a little different?

Every car enthusiasts knows that the oil crisis in the early 1970’s eventually spelled the end for the gas guzzling land yachts. Cars from Europe and Japan with much better fuel economy flooded the US market and created a situation the big three had to face. They tried frantically to build something suitable. However, most cars they came up with were great achievements horrible miniature caricatures of the bygone era of dinosaurs. You fondly remember the downsized barges and new designs like the Ford Pinto, AMC Gremlin amongst others. Especially the shrunken Cadillacs and Lincolns put a sad expression on most peoples faces. But hey… what if they had approached the whole downsizing trend with a little bit of humor and left the interiors of the cars full-size and only compromised on the outside of the body and the drivetrain? They might have come up with something like this 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Shorty concept I created over Christmas. It puts a smile on your face, doesn’t it? ๐Ÿ˜‰
