What maker distributor did Marmon use for the 1927 Little Marmon and 1928-'29 Models 68 and 78 small eight cylinder models?

Spill it Ed, don't keep us in suspense!

Yes, We do need a coach-builder identification expert to weigh in...Walt? I checked my Dietrich sources, could not find the exact handling of the windshield frame/cowl molding. Seems if Rollston generally mounted their distinctive door handles below the belt-molding, the hinge placement looks right, and the proportions struck me as Rollston.

A.J. Thanks for the good close-up still, coach-builder?

At 2:24, there is a good close-up of the right side of the body. What say you about who the coachbuilder was?

Are these Pierce-Arrow images from a movie? If so, which one?

I'd bet you'd hear the opposite view from across the pond...

Not so much a strange habit but an aversion: used cars previously owned by smokers who did so a great deal in the car leaving the interior reeking of stale cigarette odor are virtually unsaleable even when in good condition otherwise exvept at very reduced prices. The interior soft trim become permeated with the smell which worsens in a closed-up car in the hot sunshine. Thorough cleaning and ozone bombs gets rid of most of the smell but not all, it always returns at least a little every time the car sets closed in the sun.

Going out on a limb with limb saw in hand, this was a 1930 Pierce-Arrow Series A with convertible sedan body by Rollston. Ed?

Here's a better look, also looks like a pair of tough customers...

They covered the license plate hoping Grandma won't recognize her '50 Dodge coupe they're trying to sell...

Thanks for bringing this '41 120 convertible to our attention, its appears to be a very choice example. Interesting the seats are still covered with period aftermarket fabric covers. This might be fortunate in that the original leather upholstery may still be in good condition.

1928 Packard Custom Eight Model 443 convertible coupe by Walter M Murphy of Pasadena, CA. Alternately, It might have been a 1927 Model 343.

That Frankin dealership deserves a better look.

The 1963 Imperial LeBaron, only for its apparent reasonable condition and model desirability, is presented only for consideration by those interested in its prospective purchase. This posting does not endorse the salability with regard to title or mechanical issues. Caveat Emptor.

Ed Is the Pierce-Arrow Brunn town car still extant?

Don't leave us in suspense, what is it? We won't tell anyone else...

Hello Pughs Thanks for the explanation of the body supply sources, it would make sense the body suppliers would be in proximity to reduce the shipping costs. Would these apply primarily to the majority of the most popular body styles, I. e.. touring and sedan bodies? It appears the rumble seat coupes both convertible and stationary were sourced from Phillips. What surprises me is that Baker, Rauch & Lang were the source for the 1928-1929 Models M and N. The chassis specifications appear to be shared with the Willys-Knight 66A, though their cars somewhat lower priced. Any comments on the custom bodies supplied to Stearns-Knight will be of interest.

The store front car dealership was common back then. They were very small town operations, typically had the repair garage off the back alley at the back of the building. Some didn't even display the cars in a showroom, just parked them at the curb out front. If they had a showroom, it was accessed by a narrow ramp from the back through a set of fold-back double doors. And the owner lived upstairs.

Is the body maker known? Was it Bender or Raulang local to Stearns-Knight or one of the series custom coachbuilders such as Walker, Willoughby or Judkins?

As sadden as I am to know this, considering those most adversely affected by the virus is largely the age demographic who are the majority of Hershey attendees, its a wise, necessary decision.

A 1963 Imperial LeBaron 4-dr. HT: 413 V-8 & loaded with gadgets - $3875 (Denton) - Not Mine https://lincoln.craigslist.org/cto/d/denton-1963-chrysler-imperial-lebaron-4/7130978302.html When is the last time you saw one of these sleek beauties? I'm guessing the sightings have been few, given that Chrysler built just 1,537 top-of-the-line Imperial LeBarons in 1963! (Source: Standard Catalog of American Cars: 1946-1975.)This particular car retains all the bobbles and do-dads with which it was equipped at the factory - even the rare trim pieces that typically go missing on a nearly 60-year-old car. It has its four chromed free-standing headlamps; eagle hood ornament; all four "turbine-tower" hubcaps; a beautiful grill; gorgeous full-length side trim; intact plastic taillight and turn-signal lenses; remote-control (cable) driver's-side outdoor rearview mirror; and even the plastic ornament at the center of the Imperial LeBaron's iconic "spare tire" molded into the trunk lid.And, of course, the car is loaded. Under the hood is a 413-cid, 340-hp V-8, equipped with a Carter AFB 4-barrel carburetor. Other features include a push-button automatic transmission, factory AC, power brakes, power steering, power windows, 6-way power-adjusting front seat, Chrysler's Auto Pilot cruise control, automatic-scanning radio with a power antenna, a lever-action day-night inside rearview mirror, center armrests for both the front and back seats, and a locking glove box. The car was running when I bought it from an Imperial collector several years ago. Because the engine still cranks with vigor, I suspect that following a quick flush of the fuel lines it will start up again with ease. All the body mounts - a rust-prone area - are rock-solid.If you want to buy a perfect '63 LeBaron, I suggest you attend a Barrett-Jackson auction - and be prepared to spend $18,000 to $20,000! If, however, you don't mind honing your restoration skills on a solid, nice-looking and complete Imperial road rocket at a fraction of the money a pristine car would command, this LeBaron could be yours.LOCATION: 18 miles southwest of Lincoln, between Denton and Crete, and 10 miles south of Interstate 80 from Exit 388, the Pleasant Dale-Crete interchange. I'm about a 20- or 25-minute drive from the Lincoln city limits.CONTACT INFO: Text or phone me, Curt, at show contact info . If you text or reply via Craigslist e-mail, please help me screen scammers by telling me your first name, town or city of residence and its approximate population. COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS: RIP 100,000 Americans who have died of Covid-19 complications. To help limit the further spread of the virus, anyone wanting to inspect this car must be willing to wear a mask and practice social distancing.TITLING THIS CAR: As sometimes happens with older vehicles, this Imperial came to me lacking a title. This can be scary for potential buyers who have never encountered this problem. Of the 75 or so collector cars I've owned over the past 45 years, I'd say at least half have had either no titles (people being people, they lose them!) or title problems (serial nos. off by a digit or the engine number not matching the title's because someone switched engines, and the like). The Nebraska DMV has seen it all. Accordingly, the DMV has a simple, two-step process by which a new owner can receive a title for an untitled car: First, take the car in for a $10 sheriff's inspection, which in Lincoln can be done at Motor Vehicle Services, 625 N. 46th. Bring two items with you: a notarized bill of sale (which I will provide) and a filled-out 1-page form, "Affidavit & Application for Certificate of Title for a Classic Motor Vehicle." (You can print this document from the Nebraska DMV website.)Second, following the sheriff's inspection, mail or hand-deliver to the Nebraska DMV the sheriff's inspection report, notarized bill of sale and completed "Affidavit & Application."The DMV will search computer databases for a record of this car. If it finds none, it will issue a title: $25. Fine and good. You're done!If it finds an "owner of record" in its databases -- and I'm quoting now from the Neb. DMV website -- "the owner information may be used to pursue issuance of a bonded title." I've used the Forsyth Insurance Agency, show contact info , at the Piedmont Center in Lincoln to obtain a half-dozen bonded titles over the years, most recently last fall. The cost of the bond is relative to the price of the car; a bonded title for this car would be about $100.Read all about it for yourself on dmv.nebraska.gov/dvr/mvtitles.
