Since the amplitude of the carrier will be varying because of the AM
and there will be a constant amplitude offset due to the FM, I think
the envelope detection used to demodulate the AM signal will be
successful.

However, since the AM will generate sidebands which will vary in
frequency and mix (?) with the deviating FM, I think demodulating the
FM will be difficult to impossible.
