Market commentary
Mechanically outstanding, the Marmon Sixteens design by Walter Dorwin Teague (or his son, Richard, depending upon whom you believe) is a classic of Machine Age design. Underappreciated by collectors, the price paid here is appropriate in the market but the buyer got a lot more car than the same amount of money would buy elsewhere.
