Re: Optional push button 4WD?

AMC Eagles had a AWD switch on the dash. I've personally always thought the Eagles to be the coolest little wagon/hatchbacks around. Many credit the Eagle as the first crossover SUV.

Sadly, you'll have trouble finding one in good condition, as the last Eagle was produced in the late 80's, prior to Chrysler dissolving the AMC marque. The Eagle nameplate was then used as an all new make, which was really nothing more then a lame front to sell re-branded Mitsubishi models. (Talon anyone?)

Also, antilock brakes, air bags, navigation systems, etc are obviously not present in an 80's car. Still, they're sweet little rides.
