The complete advertisement uses the headline:
“The new AMX will be sold as democratically as possible.”
The first page shows a dramatic front view of a dark AMX with twin racing stripes. The copy explains that demand was expected to exceed production, so American Motors planned to distribute the limited supply among dealers based on population.
The second page continues with detailed information about the AMX’s engines, handling, equipment, interior room, trunk space, production numbering, and test-drive availability.
Advertised features include:
- Two-seat AMC AMX
- Available 290, 343, and 390 cubic-inch V8 engines
