I always thought it was in 1953, with their new cars appearing in 1954
still as the Hudson and Nash.

AMC dropped the Hudson and Nash brands (which I thought was a mistake) and
went with Rambler starting in 1957 and ending in 1966.

Am I close? (this is from memory)

The American Motors Company was founded in 1906 and based in
Indianapolis, Indiana.

Did it actually build a car, and should we have been calling the company
that produced the AMX II the AMC II ?

which one? I didn't know about the 1906 version, but the later one
was bought out/merged with Renault in the early 1980s and was
bought out/merged with Chrysler in August, 1987. The latter was
mainly to get Jeep and resulted in a bribe payment of over $150M to
Renault to pay for engines never used in their POS Premier car that
we finished but could never sell.

Yes, they build a car falled American, and later models were known as
American Underslung.

I thought that was 'American Motors Corporation', founded 1st of May
1954 by George Mason when he merged Nash and Hudson.
