1937hd45 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Looks to be a 1928 Model 75 convertible coupe. If I knew the wheelbase I could confirn what model it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South65SS Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 I only have the body. The owner has all the rest, so I have no idea about the wheelbase. How can I tell wich model it is?.Steve, I´m in Uruguay. Little country between Argentina and Brazil.Anyone can tell me where I can find Marmon photos in the net? I´m starting to restore this beauty and I will need some references.Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 That looks like a very nice body, was it just sand blasted? There is a Marmon Club and one of our Forum Members Ron should be buy with an addition to this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brockway Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I've heard Uruguay is full of antique cars. T-Ford's are still used as an everyday transport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobourgkid Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hello South If you are looking for vintage illustrations and photos of 20s Marmons I recommend that you go to ebay.com right now and type "Marmon ad" into the search box . Quite a few vintage Marmon ads are posted for sale and in most cases you can preview them. Also check out vintage paper sellers such as http://shop.vendio.com/vintageads4u and http://paperboynews.com/. In addition (just in case you haven't discovered it yet) there is a Marmon Club web site at http://www.marmonclub.com/Hope this helpsStephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 First, let me state what it is not. It is not a 1927 or 1928 Model E-75. The E-75 has a golf bag door in each side with a compartment (not the floor of the rumble seat area) that runs across the body between the two doors. The side mounted spares on an E-75 do not have wheels wells in the fender. They sit on the running board and fit the curvature of the front fender. The E-75 roadster has a distinctive window shield slant. not a vertical windshield as on this body. I just got back from five days on the road and cannot check the photos with my cars in the barn tonight, so will check them tomorrow and be back with another reply.

ronbarn Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The belt lines also rules out the 1927 Model L (or Little Marmon). The belt lines. single cowl vent, right side golf bag door, and fender spare wells tell me it is a 1928 or 1929 Model 68 or Model 78 (both models were made both years). Can you get engine and body (frame) serial numbers? The 68 has a flat head eight and the 78 has overheard valves. Which one does this have?

West Peterson Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Does the owner of this car not know anything about it? It seems strange that he's having all this work done without knowing anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
