One additional factoid about the GMRE (GM Rotary Engine): AMC had contracted to buy the engines from GM, and was already well along with designing a car around it when the engine was cancelled. Afterward, AMC had to make do with shoehorning a straight-six and eventually a V8 into the body designed for a rotary.
That car was the Pacer.
Finally, getting even farther off-topic, I understand AMC was offered the GMC MotorHome design and tooling after GMC cancelled it. Of course, they said no thanks. I wonder if, in some alternate universe, AM General (a part of AMC at the time) ended up building an armored GMC MotorHome instead of the HMMVV?
