The history and legacy of cars of American Motors heritage is a somewhat tangled web of various car nameplates and brands, but an interesting one spanning the Nash Ambassador to the Eagle Premier. The definition of a mid-size or full-size vary by era, with AMC often putting the same-size car for both slots, and "large" automobiles of some eras being smaller than "mid-size" cars of other eras during periods of downsizing and size inflation.
Each car is given with manufacturer brand, nameplate, years of production, comparable sized competition, and notes.
