Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Body color wood spoke wheels, whitewall tires, rumble seat, rear mounted spare, wind wings, folding windshield, Depress Beam headlights, pedestal mounted Spreadlight searchlight.

Condition

Three owners from new, with 38,130 miles. Repainted with recovered seat a long time ago. Otherwise a sound, complete and grimy original car that can be driven and enjoyed as is or easily restored, but why bother to restore it?

Market commentary

This is a huge, exceptional value in a rare 8-cylinder Marmon with extraordinary originality. Really. This is Ford Model A money for a well equipped 72hp Marmon that should have sold for more than twice this much. It needs absolutely nothing to be driven, enjoyed and displayed with pride in preservation events. 'Bargain' barely begins to describe what a pleasing, quality automobile this is for this price.
