Nice car…..I would go black on both the wheels and tires. That would give the car a very understated look that I like, ala my former Model A

Agree. Black sidewalls would be an improvement

Seems like one of the better deals seen recently...

Looks like it could use some freshening up but possible get by with the paint that is on it. Is this a full classic?

No, the Roosevelt was in fact a lower-cost companion

car to the Marmon.  From my knowledge, they are

Roosevelts--a separate make--not Marmon Roosevelts,

just as a Pontiac is not an Oakland Pontiac.

I believe the Roosevelt was advertised as the first 8cyl. automobile priced under $1000. According to the Classic Car Database this car was the entry level in the Marmon family. After a two year run (1929-1930) this model was refined into the Marmon Model 70.

I always think of the Marmon Roosevelt, the Franklin Olympic, and the Stutz Blackhawk in a similar manner.  each of them trying to bring a more value conscious model under their marquee. I do think though that maybe the Stutz Blackhawk is a CCCA approved classic.

Seems like a high proportion of Marmons we see on this forum are Roosevelts. I wonder it they accomplished their mission of increasing sales. 

Obviously, not enough.....
