The AMC Matador is a series of mid- and full-size automobiles produced by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from 1971 through 1978 model years. Initially positioned as a mid-size family car, the Matador spanned two distinct generations: the first (1971-1973) featured two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles, while the second (1974-1978) transitioned to a full-size platform, offering two-door coupes as well as four-door sedans and wagons.
