Concept that would become the AMC Marlin.

This was a design practice in symmetry and interchangeable body parts. The doors were interchangeable on opposite sides, as it had rear suicide doors. The hood, trunk, and other features were also shaped the same. This would have cut down on tooling costs and made replacing parts easier. This would have also seated 6, and still been compact sized. However, this model was never made, even though it was on a postage stamp in Sharjah > upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/50/Sharjah-Stamp-1970-1-rl_Rambler.jpg Much of the styling went on to the Hornet, but the interchangeable parts did not. Also, Cavalier was going to be the name of AMC's pony car, but GM had already trademarked it, even though they did not use it until 1982. AMC instead used Javelin.

Ok then

Rinspeed, do you prefer that all the images for one car be the EXACT same car, or same model with different colors trim, etc?

*Production should end in 1966, sorry.

Yes, thank you very much. That will make uploading US cars much easier!

mdr, I meant the modern Peel replicas, should they be listed under the same make as the original Peels? www.peelengineering.co.uk/

Should the replicas be listed here too?

I don't think so

Very beautiful car, at any rate.

Looks like something the Joker from the Batman movies would drive.

The last motor should say 'Opel-Manzel 3.9 I6 210hp 1984-1986'

A few more facts about this great car. The center headlight turns with the car. Some states however had restrictions stating that road cars could have no more than 2 headlights, so a cover was also sold for it. It is also rear engined. The front windscreen pops out.

Yes, it would probably be a 1400 since its in the model name. Silly me.

Rinspeed: I could find no specifications AT ALL for the Fiat 1400B Ghia I submitted, just so you know.

Fantastic engine and transmission, horrible electrics.

Its like an underpowered Jeep Scrambler made for city streets! I like it!

Well, at least there will be a constant last place finisher

Figures :

Wow, how rare are these in the States I wonder?

I would love to have this car, the best mini-van ever!

The only Escalade that ISN'T ugly.

Ewww, this is what Chrysler decides to do with the Hornet name, now they have come out with another concept Dodge Hornet, designed to be a replacement for the Neon!
