After graduation from Cal Berkeley with a mechanical engineering degree, he returned to his father's business a chief engineer. He started building high quality but rather expensive autos in small numbers. His famous Marmon Wasp won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. It wasn't until the late twenties that his cars started to become popular and then the Great Depression hit. His final masterpiece was the lovely V16 models of which only 390 were built from 1931-1933. Design credit goes to Walter Dorwin Teague, Sr. and coachwork by LeBaron. Rarest of all Marmon V16s were the coupes of which only six survive. Power comes from a narrow 45 degree V16 engine of 491 cubic inches with 200 HP through a 3 speed gearbox. It was priced at approximately $5,300 when new." Showing page: 1 of 1 [ 1 ] Login to leave a comment	Classifieds  Click here to post your own classified ad
