Rambler Marlin

The Rambler Marlin was a two-door fastback coupe built in the United States by American Motors Corporation for the 1965, 1966 and 1967 model years. It was conceived as a halo car and personal luxury model that would draw buyers into Rambler showrooms, previewed by the 1964 Rambler Tarpon show car and styled under Dick Teague. The 1965 car was sold as the Rambler Marlin and the 1966 car dropped the Rambler name to become the AMC Marlin. The first two years were fastback versions of the mid-sized Rambler Classic two-door hardtop, with standard front disc brakes, reclining bucket seats and a choice of six-cylinder or V8 engines. For 1967 the Marlin moved to the longer, wider Ambassador platform with new V8 engines and a new rear suspension. Sales were 10,327 in the short first year, 4,547 in 1966 and 2,545 in 1967, and the model ended after 1967.
