Very cool.  What makes it a "speedster" vs a "roadster"?

The Nickel Age Touring Club I used to tour with often, had a few members with model 34 Marmon automobiles of the earlier 1920s. A couple tours I went on had as many as three Marmons on a single club tour! (Talk about something one doesn't see very often!)

I don't know offhand when it began, but around 1920 through the 1920s Marmon had a "speedster" series of automobiles in sportier versions of both touring cars and roadsters. The speedsters had slightly lower lines than the regular models, and some of the "touring cars" were only four passenger (but really sharp looking!). There were three 1921 or 1922 four passenger speedsters (touring car sort of?) in the club.

Wonderful cars!
