AMC Matador

The Matador was a car marketed by American Motors in the seventies. It was named for the "killer" in a bullfight (often miscredited as the "bullfighter", or "toreador" in Spanish). Initially a sports car, it was later marketed as a sedan. 1974 models were infamously nicknamed "flying bricks".
