      Anyone know what year this Gremlin is? Love the vinyl top with the fancy oval side window – this one must be a Brougham Edition!

        The email I got from Jeff with the pic referred to it as a “AMC Gremlin” if that means anything to you.

      looks like it has a buick regal front end…

        I am wondering what this is as I cannot find a photo of anything like it after googling AMC Gremlin. It looks like a late model if it even is a regular production Gremlin. Anyone have any insight into this vehicle – or is it just somebodies garage project?

      Just think about the blind spot on that thing. Talk about unsafe at any speed.
      But in the same vein, pretty cool, I’d love to roll up some place and hop out of that thing…

      I swear to god my brother had one of these in a rust color, and used a Moosehead beer tap as a gear shift knob.

      It’s a miracle any one of us made it out of the seventies.

      Sure, go ahead and laugh your Decatur Subaru-driving butts off, but I was pissed as hell when I started unloading those fishy smelling muffins into my hatchback and realized that someone had stolen my hubcap!

        That’s brake dust.

      I took a picture of this one at the Edgewood Kroger last year. The owners (not pictured) appeared to be not at all pleased by that as they returned to the vehicle: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mentalize/4995170852/in/set-72157623115929004

        That looks amazingly like the one shot above at the Dekalb Farmer’s Market. Wonder if it is the same vehicle. I can’t tell if there is a spare tire on the back of the photo above.

        That’s sort of odd. “I want to drive a truly unique vehicle, but I don’t want anyone to notice it!”

          I had the predescessor model, called the Mogwai. Then I gassed it up after midnight, and . . .

            They’re getting pretty rare. Maybe you should drive it around in the rain?

      Sweet! That’s what Eye on the Street is all about- automotive eye candy. It is like a reverse-Eco-auto-mullet. Conserve in the back, guzzle in the front!

        Dammit…You stole my joke. ;)

      Looks like a Gremlin hearse…

      Somebody pimped that ride!

      That’s no Gremlin! Everyone knows that the only luxury car with an oval rear window in the side is the LINCOLN CONTINENTAL!

      You guys are just jealous and wish that YOU had a “babe tool” like this hot rod Lincoln!
