Body:
See the web site for the AMC museum, called 'Rambler Ranch:' http://www.ramblerranch.com/ It is privately owned by a longtime car hobby acquaintance of mine named Terry Gale. Word is (I've never pried into his personal finances!) that he has no other profession other than to run, maintain and EXPAND the AMC museum. He recently built another building with a 90-car capacity. Another story - my wife Judy's 'uncle' (through marriage) on her Dad's side worked for AMC in those years, and he was the marketing executive who was responsible for naming the Javelin. Some of his buisiness colleagues a the time thought that 'Javelin' was too agressive or racy a name (this was American Motors, after all), but his opinion won out. His name is (was) Guy Hadsell. I got to meet him a couple of times - up in years now living in CA or no longer with us (we've stopped receiving any responses to inquiries or letters). Guy was kind enough to autograph under the deck lid of my car! Don't know who was prouder, him or me.
