Video: The 1975 AMC Pacer Transformation
In 1975, American Motors created a special stunt vehicle to demonstrate that the new Pacer was actually a big car hidden inside a small car.
This memorable 1975 spot from American Motors opens with a full-sized luxury car (one that looks a lot like a 1974-75 Ford LTD, you’ll say) cruising down the road. “If you want this much room,” the announcer John Bartholomer Tucker declares, “as well as a smooth and stable ride, and really believe you’ll only get it in a bigger car, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.”
