stock_steve Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Here are an overall and a cropped-down copy of a cool old car I saw yesterday (Sunday afternoon, May 12th, 2013) out on the road. I followed this one on a Southern Connecticut state road for several miles, and only was able to get a partial side view when he finally turned off on a side street. The plate reads “BIG - 8”. Anyone have any idea what kind of car it is? That design in the center of the rear bumper, and also, of course, the hub caps, I am sure are good clues...
stock_steve Posted May 13, 2013 Author Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Wow, cool, thanks guys! The car seemed to maintain healthy speed w/o any problem along the roadway.I was only asking, by the way, from curiosity--I don't know the car nor am I trying to track it down or anything like that.Just curious as to what it was that I saw.Thanks again!

Graham Man Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 1930 Marmon, tail light is exact, hub caps match. Nice to see the big Marmon out getting some exercise. My 1929 Graham-Paige 8 has no problem with 60 mph, and with the big brakes set up right, I can lock all four wheels up on pavement so stopping is not a problem either.
stock_steve Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 None of my pictures came out great, but here's one more image from my rushed photo-taking efforts (as I drove along behind in my modern car). It was definitely cool & exciting to see the big old sedan out there cruising right along!
