FARNA Systems Master Dealership Listings

(This is a list of most known AMC Dealerships from the 1950s through the 1980s, compiled by Frank Swygert of FARNA Systems)

AMC DEALER LIST- COPYRIGHT 2002-07, FARNA SYSTEMS
LAST UPDATE: 14 DEC 2007

NOTE: List may be used on web pages, reprinted by clubs, etc., as long as it remains in its original form plus any additions. All text from title (above) to number of dealers is required, including Parts I, II, and III (all may be combined into one list). Number of dealers may be edited out, additional dealers added, and additional information added to existing dealer info. Please send updates to list custodian for inclusion in future lists.

This list originated from a 1983 AMC dealer list posted at:

Other dealers and years operated or known to exist added by Frank Swygert from information provided form AMC-List members, readers of AIM magazine ([url=”http://farna.hone.att.net/AIM.html” target=”_blank”]http://farna.hone.att.net/AIM.html[/url]), and some research work.

List is sorted by zip or postal code, which is first in dealer name when known. No zip indicates the dealer was in business before zip codes were established in July 1963 or it was simply not known or not provided with information. Further note that the telephone area code system was adopted in 1950. Originally area codes could only have a “0” or “1” as the middle digit. In the late 80s this was changed to allow any number as the middle digit.

Years in parenthesis (19xx) are the years the dealer was known to operate under the given name and location. If name or location changed the dealer will be listed again. Most dealers only have a decade (most “1980s” since the list originated from an 83 document), but some have more complete information. Dealer Numbers are included when known. See explanation of Dealer Numbers at end of Part II.

If anyone can supply additional information for any dealer listed such as address, phone number, or years of operation (when not listed), or additional dealers and information, please contact Frank Swygert, the list custodian.

Look through your old documentation, dealer catalogs, postcards, etc., then check the list below for your dealer. If you can fill in any information gaps please contact me! List the year of the source if possible, even if it is from a dealer plate/sticker from the back of a car. Personal knowledge is fine also.

Dealer Count by Year (1958-1986). Note that some dealerships sold all three brands. 1958-1970 Jeep dealers are Kaiser Jeep dealers. Information is from “1987 Almanac: U.S. Market Data” printed in 1987 by American Motors Corp.
