I saw a Vanagon AW with a Surfboard on a roof rack, in opposing traffic, today in Phoenix. It was in really good shape, no rust, and it was Blue. The siting motivated me to check this forum tonight.
It's probably just me, but I never "got" the picture for the story "Meet The Parents". It is a Gremlin pictured, isn't it?
I think Alec's car is referred to as a Nissan, along with rust bucket, POS and other things in most of the stories.
The picture does convey the rusty wreck Alec bought and drove though, so I guess that met the need and most of the readers probably aren't old enough to know what the car pictured is.
But it always makes me think of my friends then new, Gremlin. And then to some Gremlin X's I came in contact with. I finally decided to Google Gremlin X. I was very surprised by the results. I have included one clip link that I found amusing. As usual there are other Gremlin related videos suggested at the link. I was in my 20's in the 70's. I don't know if anybody else here was that age then, but the clip might amuse fellow Dog House visitors any way.
Clip title: Mercedes SL500 VS. AMC Gremlin, Clip length 00:52. It is a late model Mercedes against a 72 AMC Gremlin X. Anybody here remember AMC?
