RAMBLER MARLIN - 263 [ CORGI ]

 

[...]

 

" The Marlin was added to the Corgi range in 1966 and remained in production until 1969.

The core range car was always red with a black roof and black detailing. However you will see it in metallic blue and white.

This car was part of a gift set, GS10, where it was given a roof rack with some Kayaks and a version of the Pennyburn Trailer as a camping trailer. Apart from this there are no listed variations."

Rambler Marlin

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

"The Rambler Marlin (later AMC Marlin) is a two-door fastback automobile produced in the United States by American Motors Corporation from 1965 to 1967.

A halo car for the company, it was marketed as a personal luxury car.

 

In 1965, the car was marketed as "Rambler Marlin". For 1966, the car featured "Marlin" identification only and was officially named "AMC Marlin", as was the 1967 model.

 

Its fastback roof design was previewed on the 1964 Rambler Tarpon show car, based on the compact Rambler American. 1965 and 1966 model year production Marlins were fastback versions of the mid-sized two-door hardtop Rambler Classic, and 1967 brought a major redesign in which the car was given the new, longer AMC Ambassador full-size chassis. This version had a longer hood and numerous improvements including more interior room and new V8 engines."
