From what I understand, Rambler was a Nash model, which then became a brand in its own right when AMC was formed.

That got me to thinking about the AMC Pacer, like an upside down goldfish bowl. Very odd on UK roads with a gigantic offside door and a smaller one by the kerb. There's one still around here or was until very recently.

I'd only ever heard of the Tri-Pacer, which looked futuristic to a very small boy in the 50s compared to the usual fare of Tiger Moths and Austers, and thought from the name there must have been a Pacer.

There was...
Piper Pacer, AMC Pacer.
