Its fair to say that the Ami 6 was no looker, and the later Ami 8 wasn't much better. It is however a quirky and distinctive car, and has a small but super-loyal band of enthusiastic followers today. Several websites feature the Ami in some detail, including www.ami6.de which is in English despite being on a German website address, and ami.6.free.fr which has French text, and also discusses the Ami 6.

Apparently the Ami 6 had a decent production run, starting in 1961 and lasting for 10 years, the later 8 model lasting til 1979. The 6 was available as either a saloon (with the very raked rear screen) or station wagon, as shown above. Power came from a 2 cylinder engine of 602cc.
