Eagle automobiles

Eagle was a short-lived division of Chrysler, formed after Chrysler's 1987 purchase of American Motors (AMC). The name was taken from the AMC Eagle, the last of AMC's domestically designed vehicles. The vehicles were marketed primarily by former AMC dealers along with Jeep products.

Two of Eagle's products, the Eagle Premier and Eagle Medallion, were four-door sedans designed by AMC's former corporate partner, Renault. The remainder of the brand's cars were simply re-badged versions of cars sold by Dodge and Plymouth, as well as some vehicles produced by Mitsubishi.

After a decade of slow sales, Chrysler discontinued the Eagle brand in 1998. The 1998-2004 Chrysler 300M was originally intended to be marketed as a new version of the Eagle Vision.

The name Eagle was also used by Dan Gurney[?] for his racing cars. Among them the most noticeable is probably the 1967 Eagle-Westlake[?] Formula One, considered by many as one of most beautiful F1 cars ever built.
