Crossfire connection
Some of the main design components of the Marlin's design returned in 2004 with the Chrysler Crossfire. The new coupé displayed a fastback roof with broad rear fenders, a rear end treatment that prompted many automotive journalists to comment on the Crossfire's resemblance to the AMC Marlin. For example, Rob Rothwell wrote '...when I first espied the rear lines of the Chrysler Crossfire I was instantly transported back to 1965 and my favorite car of that year, the Rambler Marlin.'[17]
You know, I can see a slight resemblance. Look closely at the C pillar and rear fender tops. Obviously not close in proportions, but I can see a similarity in the curve of the rear side windows and the flow of the roof line.
