They moved the Marlin to the Ambassador platform in 1967. IMO, this remedied the rather awkward proportions of the original. I like the look of the '67. But it was too little too late.

Are you saying we should be choosing the pictures only? I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS ALL WRONG. Up until now I judge the make & model, the color or the wheels or add ons or drive trains have made no difference. I have said this before and nobody correted me, we are supposed to be judging the pictures, OK.
Bruce; my recollection of previous discussion/comments on this point is simply that there are no rules/guidelines; an individual votes on how they feel about the cars. Obviously this could mean anything from the body style/color/drive train/factory options, etcetera indicated in the pics to personal experience. Personally I tend to vote for the car being considered based on my observations and recollections of it over the years and I mostly use the pictures provided to prompt such thoughts. In other words....do whatever process you want to arrive at your decision. Just one person's opinion.

1967
Agree!
I agree as well. This is why IMHO the 1st. gen Charger sits on the right platform for its design, as did the attractive '67 Marlin vs. the comparatively hunched '65. I remember being absolutely blown away when I first saw this Charger design; it was radical and aggressive looking and the awesome interior sealed the deal for me. However, like many others I was also blown away by the new '68 Charger design (and still am) so my focus changed and the original Charger design became somewhat of a quickly dated looking styling "blip" in automotive history. I still love this car though and would be proud to own one.
