31 years ago today, the last Pacer is produced by the American Motor Company. The bubble-topped Pacer was a reasonably popular economy car, though its Jetsons-styled body attracted flack from car critics and stand-up comedians alike.

More recently, the Pacer gained attention as the mighty roadmobile piloted by Garth of Wayne's World.
