The Unfortunate History of the AMC Pacer

Order: Reorder
Duration: 24:32
Updated: 07 Dec 2013

Behind all the jokes and insults, the AMC Pacer is actually a car with a great deal of history. It began as radical new design from an underdog company. In an attempt to combat the big, bland, boxy cars from Detroit's "Big Three," little American Motors Corporation decided to build something a little different. Their one-eyed car stylist Dick Teague proposed a small, wide car with big windows and smooth areodynamics. Americans had never seen anything like it. This in-depth documentary tells the true story of the Pacer. Unbeknownst to many, the car persevered through manufacturing setbacks, government regulations, and many other troubles. Featuring a ton of old car advertisements and rare footage of AMC's factory, the film helps paint a picture of the Pacer's world. Director Joe Ligo sits down with AMC stylist Vincent Geraci, author Patrick Foster, and television personalities John Davis and Pat Goss from PBS's MotorWeek.

You hate it, or you love it. En soms allebei... Rob heeft affiniteit met klassiekers met karakter. Dat blijkt uit zijn auto, want als er één auto karakter heeft, dan is het wel de AMC Pacer. Ooit bedacht als kleine en zuinige Amerikaan die tegengas moest geven aan alle Japanse importauto's die in de jaren zeventig massaal op de weg kwamen. Een eerste blik naar de auto geeft direct al het idee dat je te maken hebt met een auto die zo uit de populaire tekenfilmserie "the Jetsons" is komen rijden. Het futuristische ontwerp van destijds, is nu dan ook de reden dat de auto een soort cultstatus heeft gekregen. Het zat AMC destijds niet echt mee. Midden in de oliecrisis werd de markt overspoeld door compacte importauto's. Daarnaast moesten er ten opzichte van de conceptversie diverse ingrijpende concessies worden gedaan. Van een lovende reactie van de autopers hoefde de AMC het destijds ook al niet te hebben. De rijeigenschappen werden door sommigen bedroevend genoemd en de vormgeving stimuleerde menig mens tot het bedenken van allerlei bijnamen. De grote hoeveelheid glas zorgde voor een geweldig uitzicht, maar ook voor naam "viskom op wielen". Allemaal niet zo positief zou je zo zeggen, maar desondanks zijn er toch nog een flink aantal van verkocht. Geen absolute hit destijds, maar nu zeker een stijlicoon van formaat uit de jaren zeventig. De Pacer is dus ook zeker geen grijze muis. Rob zocht een curiositeit, maar dan wel een goed exemplaar. De tand destijds heeft aan veel Pacers geknaagd en een lange zoektocht werd beloond met een mooi en goed geconserveerd exemplaar. Bijna een unicum als we Rob moeten geloven, want kwaliteit was ook niet een van de sterkste punten van de Pacer. Een juiste mix van emotie en rationaliteit bracht deze twee "karakters" samen. De liefde voor de Pacer maakt Rob echt vergevingsgezind en hij geniet volop als hij met zijn Pacer rijdt. Mensen die iets met auto's hebben en van apart houden, kunnen dan ook niet om de Pacer heen. Vanwege zijn looks is de auto veel gebruikt in films, series en muziekvideo's. O.a. zijn "hoofdrol" in de film Wayne's World maakte hem steeds populairder bij autoliefhebbers en steeds bekender. Alexis Jordan wordt in de clip van recente hit "Happiness" ook vrolijk rondgereden in de karakteristieke Pacer. De titel van deze laatste is dan ook het geen wat Rob ervaart als hij aan het rijden is in deze unieke auto. Dennis Rietveld
