ronbarn Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hobbes, Need help with your Marmon? You've made a good initial contact. I am the editor of The Marmon News, the newsletter for the Marmon Club. We have tech advisors who can help with any year and model and genuine enthusiastically Marmon fanatics (I own five myself) who will be very willing to support your efforts. And we have the Annual Marmon Muster coming up in June at Auburn, Indiana. Let me know more about your Marmon and if I can't help you, I'll get you in contact with someone who will. Can you email some digital photos? Ron Barnett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hobbes Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 yes i can get some pic's posted but she's in bad shape i was able to get the history of the car from my father and the person who just dropped it off at my dad's door one day and said take it because they are tearing down the building it was stored in well, any way i think we found it on the internet..... did they make 1929 marmon Roosevelt limmosine? this is what my dad was told it was but we really dont know it has a straight eight motor but say's marmon six on the dash and has a large space between front seat and back seat alot of the detail in the cab is ornimental stainless steel not wood like the others i've seen so i'm confused and excited so i will be getting the pic's soon ..thank you for your time kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I thought I had replied, but apparently it did not get posted. Marmon stopped making a "six" in 1927. The Roosevelt was made to be the first straight-eight priced at less than $1000. Doubtful there would have been a limo version. Need more info but this sounds like a very interesting car. Please email me at ronbarn@otelco.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
