1978 AMC Concord DL review from North America
"Wonderful car that we miss"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went out at about 80 thousand miles.
Car needed a new muffler about every two years.
General comments?
We bought our new mocha brown '78 DL 4 door in may of 78.
The Concord was the best American car I have owned.
It started every time.
It drove smoothly, even when it had over 100 thousand miles.
It was our first and last AMC car. When it was time to buy another new car, AMC was gone.
