1978 AMC Concord Test Drive
Restyling of AMC’s compact Hornet yielded a new Concord, but the difference wasn’t as great as the change of name would imply. Concord came in 4-door body styles, including a DL two door sedan. A 232 cubic inch 6 with standard, with a bigger 6 or 304 cubic inch V8 optional.
The D/L 4 door was one of 115,513 sold, up 33% from 1977 Hornet sale.
