mechaics first - no question. When you have to move the car, just start it and drive it. This way you can keep the space clean and Move it around without worrying over binding brakes, low tires and fragile body bits when you have to push it around. IMHO. Also, The hoodhinge rear support on my Marmon 16 broke on me the other day after opening and shutting the hood a million times while going through the drivetrain. Hood fell, scratched the fender, cracked paint on the hood and would have cost me days of work if I had done the paint first.

jajollee, I feel that this is a limousine division window from between 1920 and 1940 by its appearance. Believe it or not but this helps narrow down the possible number of cars a great deal. good luck.

So I was slumming in the Peerless group's forum page and saw that they use a single thread to post any parts that are for sale, either e-bay or private sale. This might be helpful to some of us that are always seeking Marmon parts and pieces. If anyone objects please let me know. If there are any marmoneers that have parts to sell.. Please list them. For sale: 1929 Model 78 Emergency Brake handle. Good condition. $50 plus shipping. Want to Buy: interior door handles, cowl lights or floorboards washers for 1927 Model L. Also looking for a good radiator core and a spare engine.

Kaycee, that is so far above the appraisal numbers for the five passenger sedan Sixteen that we have and in a whole other world from he paid for it. It actually takes driving it from super-car experience to terrifying investment risk. Almost seems like it ruins it a bit. Might be how Duesenberg lovers felt in the early eighties. It's not enough to stop us from driving it but enough to give pause.

Another 16 comes up on the market!! Maybe a tad pricey for me but nice to see it. It looks like a major project, but seems to have all the right parts. The funny looking bumper tabs on the rear bumper are odd and not very attractive but that can always be fixed or documented. It's nice to see Dyke Ridgeley getting the mad props he deserves for his efforts to document and catalog the History of the Sixteen. There is a funny little blurb in there about it having the "highest serial number of any Sixteen." Of course Dyke has been able to prove that there was no rhyme or reason to the numbers as far as production order went. Being a 33 Sixteen, It is one the last few Marmons made but it was funny how that was used and skirted all mention of the fact that is was not the last the Sixteen built, just the highest number. Boy, if he gets that price, I may have to change insurance levels!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rare-Marmon-Sixteen-restoration-project-Hyman-Ltd-/370602064284?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item56499ab99c

Yeah, I kinda did.

I like my 33(1911 Hudson), e75 (27 marmon), L (27 marmon) and Sixteen names. The caddy can be confusing though, it's a '61 62. (series 62).

What is this unusual engine? There are a few Transmission companies that existed separate of Car manufacturers but not many. I would wager that the clutch would be specific to the engine. Do you have any other pics??

Matt - That's a great shot of you. It reminds me so much of my own experience, I was nine we came back to the States and we all fell in love with a 34 Chevy. My brother was born within months of getting the car and there are pictures of him sleeping in the back seat of that car spanning ten years and a few dozen local car shows. This thread makes me think about the amount of knowledge and appreciation of these toys we love that passed down from one generation to the next so often. My father was a very active car nut and my grandfather sold Whizzers and Schwinns. So I guess I've been in the hobby since before I was a twinkle in my Daddy's Daddy's eye!

Drive AG is dead on. My Marmon is set up like that as well as countless others. This allowed the transmission to be below the gear shift, an area usually two to three feet behind the rear of the block.

Yes I have, hence the sarcasm.

Yeah but who would ever want another run of the mill, split window factory camper van with all the bells and whistles when you could have that.

I just found a Klaxon 20 horn and am trying to find what it came off of and when. I'll get a pic this evening but it's a brass trumpet with a motor hanging beneath it and a Delco Remy tag. My research shows that the horn had to be made after May '26, when Delco Remy were joined. This is a large and awkward shape for a horn and seems more like a firetruck or commercial horn. Any ideas?

Birmingham has a group calling themselves the confederate air force and one of their members takes regular flights over my neighborhood in a T-6. Love the sound and the thrill never lessens to run out in the yard and watch her fly by.

Glad I could help - If you need more pics - let me know, I'd love to see her on the road. -Sam

I can't see how it could be threaded or how it would screwed into place if it was. Even more than threads I'd worry over the casing. It Looks pretty brittle and I'd worry about the effect of the directional force needed to remove the gear from the shaft while tapping the shaft.

Much better pic. It looks like the drift pin should hammer out of the gear and the housing.

Give me a time frame for the resto anyday, 50's, 60's, 70's, etc.. different eras, different norms.

She could be running a bit rich.

Who was the car made by?

I use Simichrome to clean filth and oxidization of of Brass or Nickel and Nevr-Dull to polish already clean Nickel and Chrome.

Bofus, the glass bowl "filters" are really just sediment tanks. use an inline filter. Cut and spliced mine in so that if you kneel down at the right rear wheel, you can see it on the frame rail. that way I can visually check for crud in the filter and if need be, remove and clean or replace it with no gas spills in the engine compartment. Good luck. - Sam
