" The AMC Gremlin defines automotive quirkiness. A backsliding American automaker&amp;#039;s flailing attempt at making a compact car, the Gremlin was too big to be a compact, but too small to be a full-size. It had the clipped, hatchback proportions of an imported economy car, but its\u00A0big, boat-anchor straight-six (or optional V8!) and rear-wheel drive meant it wasn&amp;#039;t really that much more efficient than a bigger domestic sedan.\u00A0 Even today, with the soft-focus glow of nostalgia and blue-collar irony, the Gremlin has a hard time inspiring vintage enthusiasm.\u00A0 But that&amp;#039;s not true for everybody. Apparently, big-time stand-up comedian and puppeteer Jeff Dunham has a strong fondness for AMC&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;American-built import.&amp;quot; And he brought two examples from his collection to Jay Leno&amp;#039;s Garage.\u00A0 And you know what? We can&amp;#039;t knock Dunham&amp;#039;s enthusiasm for these things. As Jay points out, the Gremlin was always a misfit, but it was an honest car, and there&amp;#039;s charm in that. And Dunham&amp;#039;s 304 cu.in. V8-powered Levi&amp;#039;s Edition seems like it would just be a hoot of a time.\u00A0 As Jay Leno will now demonstrate.
