The AMC Pacer is a two-door compact automobile produced in the United States by the American Motors Corporation between 1975 and 1980.. The car's unusual rounded shape with massive glass area greatly contrasted with the mostly boxy, slab-sided models of the era. In its first year of production, the Pacer sold well, with 145,528 units. Some reviewers referred to it as a "fishbowl on wheels" or a "jellybean in suspenders" because of its unconventional styling, while some described it as a "cute" car. The Pacer's unconventional styling was commonly cited in its lack of success. Other concerns included a lack of cargo space when carrying a full load of passengers (because of its short wheelbase). Cargo space could be increased to 29.5 cubic feet (0.84 m3) by folding down the back of the rear seat to form a flat floor.
