The AMC Marlin was a family of cars?

Interesting for sure but the closed wheels are a no-go for me.

You are the designer....Marlinash it is. I think that the name Rammarnash would sell well in India though.

That first shot is a Marlin that looks more like a sailfish. (Far bigger dorsal fin). Not a big fan of skirts on most cars, this one seems to have the equivalent on BOTH wheel opening areas! I can favorably see the second photo redefined as a two door; shortened appropriately, and with open front wheel well.

It certainly is an interesting automobile ! I'd bet with a few tweaks it would improve even more and it does recall the time when fastbacks were very popular with several manufacturers. This is a quick photo-shop showing perhaps a 2-door coupe with open front wheels.

@jack-dodds, we would have to come up with a special version for Cowboys too, though.

Mike, I had the same idea as you, except I opened up the rear wheels as well, and shortened the roof. Fun to do, but I guess we are betraying the Nash heritage!

OMG! NO! I'd pray for blindness just to not see it.
