Marlin (Rambler Marlin)

The Rambler Marlin was a fastback personal luxury/large coupe introduced by American Motors Corporation (AMC) for the 1965 model year. Designed under AMC stylist Richard A. Teague, the Marlin sought to combine sporty fastback styling with the comfort of a larger car and was marketed under the Rambler marque by AMC. AMC itself was formed in 1954 by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and Hudson Motor Car Company and became known for independent, compact- and economy-oriented vehicles through the 1950s and 1960s. The Marlin nameplate remained associated with that distinctive mid-1960s fastback styling rather than a long-lived separate corporate brand.
