I recently uncovered a survivor fro my son's childhood, the Rambler Marlin Fastback by Corgi Toys (Issue 263A).

This diecast American car was introduced in 1966 in red, ending up in 1969 as a blue model. This is one of my favourite Corgi American cars.

Here it is, with a few blemishes. Car is unrestored and black overspray is as produced back then by Corgi Toys. The doors open.

Also one of my favorite Corgis as well, David - although i bought mine in 2020! I rarely post my Corgis but continue to sporadically add to my collection - thanks for posting.

@ben-lampson Old store stock found in 1974, soon after I reached drinking age! Karl was the one who was still a kid!
