Listed in the 1982 AMC Dealer Directory as a Jeep-only franchise. Apparently Holiday AMC/Renault took care of the other lines in Amarillo. A nice looking script from eBay:

In the winter of 1977/78, my Dad and I were moving a load from Arkansas to Arizona via I-10, and lost a wheel bearing on my trailer, on the outskirts of Amarillo.  Sid Stout Jeep provided the bearing free of charge, and I can still remember how miserable I was at 16, changing the wheel bearing in the mud, slush and snow on the shoulder of the Interstate, around 20 degrees out and windy.

You don't see customer appreciation like that often any more.  Nice little story Mike.
