Yes, it’s an AMC Concord with what could be a legit 16k miles, and NO VINYL ROOF.
It looks almost new. Amazing. I can’t believe someone actually bought one without a vinyl roof.
This is the weird part; I thought all Concords had a 3rd window like this vinyl roofed one:
But there were Concord sedans with a vinyl roof without the window too:
And of course, the Concord was just an updated Hornet:
AMC was a bit convoluted. Stretch, chop, cobble together. Especially in their other divisions. Like the VAM Lerma, which was a Spirit and Concord F rankensteined together:

Huh. I’m from the opposite side of the street I guess. I can’t remember that 3rd window. And I was around a b unch of them.

Those AMC door handles were the best door handles.

I spotted one. It was a unicorn because when the driver walked up to it he took it a key, inserted it , and unlocked the door. Then he cranked the window down. The car itself was a ninety-something Saturn SL1 , in surprisingly good condition, but that’s almost beside the point.

It should be a crime to sell a Shit box for more than its original retail price.

They were. I always liked them.

That would be about the basest base Concord sedan you could get, though it does have air conditioning. This was also the first year for factory standard Ziebart rustproofing.
I kind of wonder about the sort of person who buys a new base model compact car and drives it the equivalent of 1 year of normal use over the course of 39 years. I’m not one for public transportation, but it seems like a bus pass might have made a lot more financial sense for that little traveling.
