1931 Marmon Model 16 4-Door Sedan

The original owner of this full classic was Mrs. J.W. Fisher of Indianapolis, Indiana. Mrs. Fisher was the sister of Howard and Walter Marmon of the Marmon Motor Car Company of Indianapolis.

In 1929, Marmon introduced an under $1,000 straight eight car known as the Roosevelt, but the market crash of 1929 made the company's problems worse. Howard Marmon had begun working on the world's first V16 engine in 1927, but he was unable to complete a production model Sixteen until 1931. By that time, Cadillac had already introduced its own V16, which was designed by ex-Marmon engineer Owen Nacker.

The Marmon Sixteen was produced for three years; 1931-1933. The engine displaced 491 cubic inches and produced 200 horsepower. It featured an all-aluminum design with steel cylinder liners. Marmon became notable for its many innovative works in automotive manufacturing. They are credited with having introduced the rearview mirror as well as pioneering the V16 engine and the extensive use of aluminum in auto manufacturing. The use of aluminum and other lightweight materials produced an engine that was nearly 400 pounds lighter than many of its competitor's engines. This contributed to the Marmons impressive power-to-weight ratio and established their reputation for building some of the best-handling larger cars of the era.

The owners of this 1931 Marmon Sixteen Four Door Sedan have prepared the car for extensive touring.
