What a beauty. I was so into 50s cars as a kid, everything earlier just looked like old junk to me. Now, my appreciation for early cars has kicked in. I love the styling and the introduction of new technologies over time. We all have those days to thank for the awesome cars we get to drive today.
Here is a link to a Marmon that is/was for sale with some photos.
