...A.M.C. cars unveiled last week were mirror images of their 1971 counterparts on the outside. Inside, though, the sporty Javelin will feature optional trim and upholstery by Fashion Designer Pierre Cardin of Paris; the Hornet wagon can be had with finishing touches by Aldo Gucci, Italy's famed designer of leather accessories. Instead of new body styling, or the wide variety of models offered by its competitors, A.M.C. is making its major move in the area of warranties. Starting with the 1972 models, the company will pay for the repair of all defects during the first twelve months...
