Shop Rat Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi. You might want to post this question on the Marmon Forum. It is listed under the main heading Other Domestic Brands. You can find that by clicking on the heading Forum List. Scroll down from there until you find the Marmon Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The book could be a bit expensive.http://www.tewarthautobooks.biz/si/887.htmlI have a friend who's grandfather (Thomas J. Litle) was chief engineer at Lincoln in the 20s and had a falling out with Henry Ford. He was then Chief Engineer at Marmon for a couple years in the late 20s. It would be great to find out more about his involvement with the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
