Rambler Marlin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Marlin the first mid-sized fastback car made in the US during the sixties. Built by American Motors from 1965 to 1967, the Marlin was available with many standard features and marketed as a personal luxury car.

The 1965 and 1966 Marlin is a fastback version of the mid-sized two-door hardtop Rambler Classic that was available as a convertible, as well as four door and station wagon models. The fastback roof design was previewed on the 1964 Rambler Tarpon show car, which was based on the compact Rambler American. The Marlin was available one year prior to the similar Dodge Charger (1966 and 1967 models).

In 1967, AMC transferred the Marlin from the Rambler Classic to the longer AMC Ambassador, as the Marlin had been criticized for having a relatively short hoodline.

The Marlin was sold as a Rambler model in 1965, then as an AMC model from 1966 to 1967. Total production numbers are as follows:

1965 : 10327

1966 : 4547

1967 : 2545
