1977 Pacer Competitive Comparison

Comparisons of the features of the 1977 AMC Pacer, to the same features of other makes. Assistance is provided via a salesman character, and a knowledgeable woman buyer. This video veers off from other Competitive Comparisons in having an actual, smart, informed consumer, rather than just a comic foil. An interesting development, considering that the characters in other videos tend to elicit, instead of laughs, the feeling that AMC didn't consider their customers to be particularly intelligent.
The Sentinel 16 was a combination 8-track cartridge player and automated filmstrip projector, used in the mid-1970's. The cartridges, which contained both the film and the audio tape, were distributed to AMC dealers around the nation. Our exclusive restoration process, constructed by Craig Patterson, shows you the machine display exactly as it was originally meant to be seen. Colors have been restored as closely as possible, though the filmstrips were of questionable quality, and have severely degraded over time.
