🇺🇲 Step back in time and experience the roar of the iconic AMC Javelin, a true legend of American muscle cars! Introduced in 1967 by American Motors Corporation (AMC), the Javelin was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop automobile manufactured across two generations, spanning from 1968 through 1970 and then from 1971 through 1974 model years. It was designed to compete in the pony car market segment against rivals like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.
🚗💨 The AMC Javelin burst onto the scene in 1968, showcasing a sleek design and powerful engines. Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin offered a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car variants to high-performance muscle car models. Its distinctive appearance, featuring a long hood and aggressive stance, turned heads on the streets and racetracks alike.
🏭 Besides being manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were also assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, the Philippines, Venezuela, and Australia, showcasing its global reach. American Motors even offered discounts to U.S. military personnel, leading to many Javelins being exported overseas.
🛞 Under the hood, the Javelin packed serious power. It was available with inline-six engines or potent V8s, delivering thrilling acceleration and speed. The AMX variant, equipped with a 6.4-liter V8, boasted over 300 horsepower!
🏆 The AMC Javelin wasn't just about looks—it excelled on the track too. It competed in Trans-Am racing, demonstrating its speed and agility. In fact, the second-generation AMX variant was the first pony car used as a standard vehicle for highway police car duties by an American law enforcement agency. Today, the Javelin's unique style and racing heritage make it a sought-after classic among collectors.
💔 By 1974, the automobile landscape had shifted. While other manufacturers downsized engines in response to changing market demands and fuel shortages, the Javelin's big engine option continued until production ceased in November 1974 amidst the Arab oil embargo and declining interest in high-performance vehicles.
🦅 The AMC Javelin embodies the spirit of American muscle cars, blending style, performance, and affordability. It's a timeless classic that continues to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. Get ready to hit the road and experience the thrill of the AMC Javelin!

So I had a, Kinda Funny Thought. About AUTO.
I know I joked/questioned about how would AUTO look like if he were to be detached off the Axiom and explore Earth,
Because I haven't actually seen other methods other than him retaining his rail/hydraulic arm thing, being given a new mobile body or gijinka/humanized form. (unless I missed any fan works saying otherwise)
And then, I remembered TYP-E!
TYP-E was shown to be hooked to the Axiom, but by the end credits they're shown to be able to operate and move independently via levitation.
And that made me think, hm, I wonder if AUTO would've had a similar system in place - where he could be independently detached and move without the need of the hydraulic arm. Which, unfortunately, made me wheeze at myself because all I could imagine was,

Unusual Model Train Sets
A long time ago in 2020, I did a thread on Twitter of unusual model train sets. Mainly to showcase some that don't seem real, but are/were. Here's a selection of such trains.
I pity the fool who doesn't have this set.
It's more than meats the eye.
Our secret weapon in defeating Cobra.
I don't see a correlation between Rambo and trains to warrant this set.
Of course. When I think of a hit comedy show about medical personnel during the Korean War, I think a train set would make sense given the context.
(Friend of mine said the following:
Though my point still stands just from the episodes I've seen.)
This has the best '80s aesthetic I've seen for a train set.
As someone who launched Hot Wheel cars in front or over trains, I legit think this concept is fun.
Speaking of Hot Wheels...
As someone who still has this set, I can tell you that while it's fun, it's not compatible with HO tracks. A real bummer if you ask me.
I have a soft spot for train sets based on tractor brands (I have relatives who live in Eastern Washington who collect old tractors). The only unusual thing I could find is when they are a passenger set.
Which makes no sense considering what the IP is.
I don't see the connection between auto parts and trains, but the Photoshopped image on the box is cool.
Again, don't see much of a connection, in this case of NASCAR sets. However, if your train is taking a left hand turn every time it goes around the track then it makes sense (I guess).
And that is the list of unusual train sets I could find for this post. This is not meant to say they're dumb. I actually find sets like these quite entertaining and fascinating, particularly the TYCO sets of Rambo, GI Joe, A-Team, and Transformers just for how niché they were. And these came out around the time Shining Time Station premiered.
If you know any others, please reblog with the train set that you find unusual or barely has any connection to trains.

🇺🇲 Explore the intriguing history of the Ford Edsel—a car that captivated the automotive world with its bold design and innovative features! Introduced in 1956, the Edsel was envisioned as a revolutionary addition to the American automobile market.
🎩 Edsel was a division and brand of automobiles that was produced by the Ford Motor Company. Named after Edsel Ford, the son of company founder Henry Ford, the Edsel was intended to fill the gap between Ford and Mercury, offering consumers a new level of luxury and sophistication. With its distinctive styling and advanced engineering, the Edsel was poised to make a splash in the competitive automotive landscape.
🚘 Despite high expectations and extensive marketing campaigns, the Ford Edsel faced numerous challenges upon its release. Its unconventional design, characterized by a unique grille and distinctive "horse collar" front bumper, divided opinion among consumers and critics alike.
⚙️ Under the hood, the Edsel boasted a range of powerful engines and innovative technologies, including the "Teletouch" automatic transmission and "E-475" V8 engine. However, production delays and quality control issues tarnished its reputation in the eyes of consumers, leading to disappointing sales figures.
💔 The launch of the Ford Edsel on "E-Day" in September 1957 remains one of the most highly anticipated events in automotive history. Despite the initial hype, the Edsel failed to resonate with buyers, leading to its discontinuation in 1960 after just three model years.
🌟 Although the Ford Edsel may not have achieved commercial success, it remains a fascinating chapter in the annals of automotive history, showcasing the risks and challenges inherent in innovation and design.
