THE LAST PACER OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE

December 3: The last AMC Pacer rolls off the line on this date in 1979


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.

MAGAZINES LAST ISSUE ON THIS DAY IN 1957

Collier’s magazine, founded in 1888 by Peter Fenelon Collier, was initially launched
as Collier’s Once a Week, then changed in 1895 to Collier’s Weekly: An Illustrated Journal, and finally shortened in 1942 to simply Collier’s. The magazine ceased publication with the January 4, 1957 issue, though a brief, failed attempt was
made to revive the Collier’s name with a new magazine in 2012.
