Only two production sixteen-cylinder automobiles were manufactured in the United States - the Cadillac Sixteen and the Marmon Sixteen. The Marmon was introduced in November 1930, 11 months after the Cadillac Sixteen's appearance, and deliveries did not begin until April 1931.
This Marmon Sixteen was once part of the famed William F. Harrah Automobile Collection in Reno, Nevada.
The Marmon Sixteen was simply spectacular, but for the struggling Marmon Company, it was a case of 'too much, too late.' The market for a $5,000, 200 horsepower luxury automobile was disappearing.
Although the Marmon Company also produced a less expensive eight-cylinder motorcar, it focused all its efforts on the Sixteen for 1933. By May 1933, the company was in receivership. The company that won the first Indianapolis 500 race in 1909 had become part of automotive history.
