What Color Is That? 1975 AMC Matador
The Matador was a stately styled coupe/sedan/wagon that replaced the Rebel in 1971 as American Motor Corp’s (AMC) plus sized muscle coupe. In 1974 the Matador coupe was restyled in a completely different fashion from the sedan and it was cool enough for Francisco Scaramanga (one of Christopher Lee’s greatest performances) to use a flying version to escape James Bond in The Man with the Golden Gun. Find this 1975 AMC Matador offered for $9500 in Lomita, CA via craigslist.

AMC called this color “Alone Again On Saturday Night”.
Oh snap. Mr Larry Stewart in his powder blue turtle neck disagrees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub6objkc9t4
My daughters pacer is the same color. For at least one year, AMC called this “Yucca” tan.
I have always known this color by it’s colloquial association… “Babysh** Brown”.
When approaching this car two things should alert you: 1. The Driveway
2. Black car with
the tarp over the hood
A tarp is a significant problem when it is covering the floor of a room you are being asked to enter with your cash in hand.
