This 1981 AMC Eagle Sundancer Crossover Convertible Surely Points To The Next Automotive Trend | Carscoops carscoops
But it’s only now when crossovers likehave evolved from looking like sportier SUVs to become hi-rise versions of regular sedans that we can really see how influential it was. And if this 1981 Eagle Sundancer Convertible is anything to go by, the proto-crossover still has bit more influencing left to do.
If you think about it, a crossover convertible is the next logical niche for the car industry to dive into. True, we’ve already seen plenty of convertible SUVs, and we’re not just talking about old Land Rover Defenders. Road-biased SUVs have lost their heads too. Nissan launched the Murano convertible in 2011, Land Rover chopped the top off the
in 2015, and you can currently buy a Volkswagen T-Roc convertible in Europe. But those cars are SUV-style convertibles, whereas the Sundancer was a convertible that looked like a regular car. Just taller.
. In the Eagle’s case that meant shipping two-door coupes all the way from Kenosha, Washington, to Florida for decapitation, after which the finished cars would be dispatched to the supplying dealers., the Sundancer features a central roll hoop, though the AMC’s is much more stylish, the sloping rear side of the hoop giving it a power-boat kind of vibe.
The Sundancer, which was new for 1981, wasn’t a huge success, lasting only two model years , and you can bet that there aren’t a ton left. But one shining beige reminder of AMC’s inventiveness is this 50,000 miles example currently up for grabs
