On December 3, 1979, the last Pacer rolled off the assembly
line at the American Motors Corporation (AMC) factory in
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
When the car first came on the market in 1975, it was a
sensation, hailed as the car of the future. “When you buy
any other car,” ads said, “all you end up with is today’s car.
When you get a Pacer, you get a piece of tomorrow.” By
1979, however, sales had faded considerably. Today, polls
and experts agree: The Pacer was one of the worst cars of
all time.
