Saw this article and thought of it immediately.
Rode in one once. Visibility out was indeed quite excellent.
Great concept car overall. Just not very well executed.

What was the car AMC made after the Rambler. (I had a 66 Rambler Classic. Loved that car!) I think it was 1967. The Hornet maybe with a large back window.

The concept failed for many reasons, primarily because the performance was crippled when the expected Wankel engine was cancelled by GM (would have been sourced to AMC). The Wankel had significantly greater performance for size and weight. With a car designed for one type of power plant, AMC, as the weak sister of the 4 car companies, could not easily pivot to another choice.
