Yes, AMC had hot dipped galvanized bodies, and I believe it started on
the '80 Concord, Spirit and Eagle models.  There are still a bunch of
Eagles running around here in CO, because of the AWD and galvanized
bodies.  Funny, but AMC beat Audi to market with both of those
technologies. My Dad worked for AMC (and Nash) from '49 to '79, so we
always had at least one AMC.  We never had a Pacer though, as my Mom
wouldn't let Dad get one. My first car, unfornutely, was a '74 Hornet X
hatchback with a 258 I6 and three speed on the floor.  Aweful car, but
actually fairly quick.

The truly funny thing is that with all the mergers, my Dad (and
therefore I) qualify for employee pricing on Mercedes vehicles. Who'd a
thunk it...
