The AMC Concord was a compact automobile made by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) starting in the 1978 model year and continuing to 1983.
The Concord replaced the similar AMC Hornet and the AMC Matador, due to be discontinued after 1978. The Concord was offered in four-door sedan, two-door coupé, three-door hatchback (to 1979) and four-door station wagon forms.
1978 models had an eggcrate grille with two rectangular headlights, while 1979 and later models had a restyled front fascia with four headlights. An AMX package was available on the hatchback for 1978, including different a different front fascia with single round headlights.
The Limited, appointed with velour upholstery, thick carpeting, woodgrain interior trim, full courtesy lighting, luxury wheel covers and a vinyl roof, was very well equipped for a compact car at the time. For car in its size and price class, the Concord came better equipped than many of its competitors.
The four-wheel drive AMC Eagle (1980-1988) was based on the Concord body style, and nearly all body, interior and trim parts were interchangeable. The Concord was dropped (along with the Spirit) after 1983 in favor of AMC's new line of Renault-based vehicles.
The Chrysler Corporation, now DaimlerChrysler, owners of AMC, made a full-size sedan from 1993 to 2004 as the Chrysler Concorde.Trivia
