The Rambler Tarpon was a concept car, a compact-sized sporty youth-oriented 2+2 hardtop coupé developed in 1963 by American Motors Corporation (AMC). The bright red with black roof design study made its public debut at the 1964 Chicago Auto Show.[1] The car served to foretell the fastback design elements of the larger Rambler Marlin that was introduced in 1965.[2]
