It would. Much to the same extent that the Jaguars produced under the parentage of Ford are still Jaguars. And the Chryslers produced by Daimler... and ... and ...

AC as it existed in the 60's is no longer and has evolved (devolved? ) into something else. It isn't the old AC anymore, but if the current, legally recognized incarnation of the brand calls it an AC then it's an AC, see?

Now that we've sorted that out, are you henceforth to be known as Mark VI?
