The Eagle name first appeared on an AMC vehicle in the 70's. It was a
four-wheel drive version of a small sedan called the Commander(?). At
the time it was considered a good execution. I still see them on the
road occasionally, particularly in Colorado. When Chrysler bought AMC
it had a couple of sedans about to go into production that were too far
along to cancel. I've forgotten their names, but I believe they were
sold under the general name Eagle. Like the Eagle Monaco, for example,
which I think was one. Chrysler kept the Eagle name for a while, but
canceled it for the '98 model year.
