The firm’s purchase of the Jeep brand also generated profits, but ultimately it was too little, too late.

In 1987, Chrysler Corporation purchased AMC and the story of the last independent automaker came to an end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoster and Glatch’s engaging book covers all of the AMC models, as well as racing exploits, from its inception to its ultimate demise.
