Description

If you don’t know who Roy Chapin Jr., it’s a good bet that you know the Gremlin, Hornet and the Pacer. They were his cars.
Even 40 years later, the mention of those names in car circles is enough to provoke a chuckle or two. Some still collect the American Motors Corporation cars and proudly call them timeless classics. Others would prefer to quite literally look the other way. Chapin Jr., the gentlemanly and highly intelligent son of one of the pioneers in the car industry, kept a business afloat with them.
