  1. I used to belong to an Alternate History web site. One timeline l came up with was a wagon manufacturer getting into the truck business and merging with Jeffery Motors. Jeffery is the company Charlie Nash bought when he left GM. The wagon manufacturer was Bain Wagon. The company was Bain Motor Works. Yup, BMW. Bain and Jeffery were about two miles apart.

  2. Kaiser as IKA built older AMC models in Argentina. Power in some was supplied by Kaiser's Tornado inline six. This featured a hemi head with an OHC. The cam only had 6 cam lobes as the lobe operated both of the valves. One model the Torino was based off of the front and rear ends of the 64/65 American and the doors of 64/65 Classic. Produced into the 1980s IKA also built a version of the 66 Ambassador.

  3. AMC bought some components from all of the Big Three and their captive parts companies. Steering units from GM. Automatic transmissions from Chrysler. Brake components from Ford. Ignition system part from Ford and GM. The only engines they bought to my knowledge were Iron Dukes and 2.8 liter V-6 s from GM. The Iron Duke were used in Eagle S/X 4 and the 2.8 in early XJ Jeeps. And n. They did not buy 390s from Ford or 327s from Chevy. The 327 would have required time travel as the AMC 327 was introduced 5 years before the Chevy 327.
