Auto Fashion | 1971-74 AMC Javelin Pierre Cardin Edition @pierrecardintr @pierrecardinwomen In the early 1970s, American Motors @drive.a.m.c initiated a program to associate its products with well-known fashion designers and companies. There was the Gucci-edition AMC Hornet and the Oleg Cassini-edition AMC Matador, while the wacky AMC Gremlin wore the red tab of Levi's denim. The most sought after of these was the Pierre Cardin-edition AMC Javelin because Cardin @pierrecardintr was the fashion industry's most transcendent figure and this pony car was AMC's standard bearer of sportiness. Cardin's designs were seen not only in clothing but also in personal accessories, restaurants, furniture, and even on a record label. The décor package was optional for all 1972 and '73 Javelins for a mere $84.95 and included exterior badging. The glittery disco era was dawning when the Cardin-edition Javelin rolled down the assembly line in blue-collar Kenosha, Wisconsin. It's mechanically sound, vaguely quick, and a symbol of decadence from a company that had previously known success only with the dowdy, fuel-sipping Rambler. When a car becomes the ultimate accessory 😊..... @motortrend https://www.motortrend.com/features/collectible-classic-1971-74-amc-javelin #motortrend #amc #amccars #amcjavelin #classiccars #fashion #upholstery #1971 #1972 #1973 #1974 #fashion #pierrecardin https://www.instagram.com/p/CeB4j81uETO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
