The AMC Javelin was American Motors' only foray into the popular "pony car" market, and the model that almost single-handedly transformed American from a peddler of Scotsman-like economy to a two-time Trans-Am racing champion. This week, we take a look at how the Javelin came to be, and why it disappeared.

Special Note: Thanks to Torq-O.com, we're pleased to present a series of rare AMC film clips on the Javelin, unseen in over 30 years.

In our history of the Olds 4-4-2, we mentioned that it was not exactly the leader of the pack when it came to Supercar performance. To rectify that problem, Oldsmobile joined forces with Hurst Performance Products to create the ultimate high-performance Oldsmobile: the fearsome Hurst/Olds.

The 4-4-2 was Oldsmobile's entry in the "Supercar" wars of the mid-sixties and early seventies. Although it was never as lauded or as popular as the Pontiac GTO or Dodge Charger, it outlived many of its rivals, and helped pave way for Oldsmobile's ascendancy in the 1970s.

This week, we look at the history of the Oldsmobile F-85, Cutlass, and 4-4-2.
