night cub ◊ 2014-09-07 23:43	I thought I read it here, but only see one mention of it.
Commander 57 ◊ 2014-09-08 01:44	Yeah, I saw that too. Both of the online AMC brochures for the 1976 models show the car with the rubber edging. Can't see copyright dates but normally such publications were printed just before model release.
