Don't you just love this car... I know

[alanblanes]

You're right we do want to see this Marlin.

[youtbe]

You brought this underrated marvel into cyberspace posterity. JUSTICE!!!

[davidkastin]

The best looking Rambler/AMC ever made.

2:10 I figured as much! Those sure looked like the San Jacinto mountains behind you.

Darling, Woof! It's super nice. Nice nice a thousand times. Thank you very much for showing us these marvels.

Lou Constable interviews a couple who own one almost identical to this marlin except it has different wheel covers. Gorgeous color combination, I love it.

[TuckerSP]

So ahead of it's time, it's gorgeous! Love the color and every detail.

Strange to have the 327 badge at the trunk ha. Great car and color combo!

The Marlin catalog states Room for Six Swingers!

Thanks Charles! Of course, I am sure you know, that in 1966, the Marlin was no longer a "Rambler." Well, that's what American Motors said.

Always been a favorite of mine, as a 9 year old boy in 1966, although the 1966 Dodge Charger was more attractive overall. The hideaway headlights and the wall-to-wall taillights helped give the Charger a much more modern look. But hey, getting back to the Marlin. The sweep of the rear-side windows was its best feature (I know, right?). This may have been Rambler/American Motors's best looking car, if not second if you liked the 1974 AMC Matador coupe's styling better (which I did). Of course, styling is subjective, but both cars were fresh looking. The 1965 Marlins were sold under the Ramble name, but the 1966 and 1967 models were sold under the American Motors (AMC) brand. Sadly, the Marlin was only produced for three model years. Thank you, Charles for another wonderful video down memory lane 😊
💡I just thought of something! Your theme song for Joyride should be Barbra, singing 🎵 Memory🎵

That particular locale must have dictated a quieter Charles. It made this presentation much more intimate. I knooow.

PURPLE? Please, the car is Marquessa Mauve Metallic with a white Vinylair basket weave bucket seat interior! The optional vinyl top instead of two tone paint! And I see factory air as well! 328 V-8, PS.PB and automatic with floor shift! And me- down to my last exclamation point! I know... It really is a beauty.

I owned one. Mine was yellow and black with white in black interior. wires and all. that giant marlin on the back was the best. I remember the commercials of it coming out of the ocean. had a lot of fun with that car. by the by bought it for 150 bucks with 65k on it from the original owner, bought it in 1976. A Rambler collector saw it in my shed with other cars and asked if I wanted to sell it. I said not really thought about it. Then he flashed 28, 100$ bills. I ran and got the pink slip. That was 2 years after I bought it and drove it all over creation, stories galore form Watkins Glenn races etc... Then with the money I went down to my local used car dealer and bought a 1974 Eldorado convertable for 1700 bucks, red, white, white top. Those were the days.

The Marlin was a beautiful, upscale sport luxury coupe, designed to compete with the Dodge Charger. You can clearly see design similarities with the roofline between both cars. Charles Phoenix is right on about the details that make this car special and so desirable.

Hey Charles. Beautiful looking Marlin. I used to know someone who owned one. Fabulous condition! It looks beautiful from *every* vantage point. 🙂

Charles Phoenix could describe lint and make it sound amazing and extraordinary.
