Epilogue

The AMC Eagle remained in production, using the Concord platform until it too was discontinued in the middle of the 1988 model year. For 1987, AMC introduced the imported Renault Medallion to replace the discontinued Concord, as well as the similarly-sized, but poor-selling Renault 18-based 18i/Sportwagon, which had been sold at AMC dealerships from 1981-86. The Medallion, like its 18i/Sportwagon predecessors, also failed to sell in large numbers, and imports were canceled by Chrysler at the end of 1989.
The Mexican government-owned automaker VAM made a vehicle called the VAM Lerma, which was based on the Concord's chassis with the Spirit's body panels.
The Chrysler Corporation which took over AMC in 1987, made a full-size sedan called the Chrysler Concorde from 1993 to 2004.
In The Betsy (1978), 1978 Concords can be seen being completed on the Kenosha assembly line.
