chrysler took over amc, but production of the eagles continued for the 1988 model year. the car's name was officially changed from amc eagle to eagle wagon. however, all of the amc badges, build sheets, and door plaques were carried over. the vin was no different under the new corporate owner, other than the digit for the year. although the paperwork that came with the 1988 eagles continued to indicate that american motors canada, ltd. built them, the company as named ceased to exist, since it became a subsidiary of chrysler in the buyout, as did all amc properties. the final car rolled out of amc's original brampton assembly plant in brampton, ontario on 14 december 1987. in its place, production was increased of the jeep wrangler that was built there.
