1979 AMC Spirit Limited

Okay, raise your hands. How many of you looked at this and said "A Gremlin?" Hah! This was one of AMC's marketing ploys to make the buying public forget about the Gremlin — rename it Spirit. Besides this very Gremlinesque "sedan" model (AMC's description, not mine), the Spirit also came in a more traditional-looking fastback/hatchback model (a.k.a. liftback). But this squareback sedan is how we roll at the Lotto Garage, because you rarely see one on the road anymore. Come to think of it, you rarely saw one in 1979, either! — jc
