Known as the car with a body almost as wide as it was long, the 1975 AMC Pacer is a two-door compact automobile that was produced in the United States by the American Motors Corporation between 1975 and 1980. Detroit invented the subcompact car, first with the popular Gremlin model, and in 1975, AMC Pacer came out. Advertised as “the first wide car,” it was designed by AMC’s chief stylist Richard A. Teague who began to work on the Pacer in 1971, anticipating an increase in demand for smaller vehicles through the decade because of the gasoline situation.
