1932 Marmon Sixteen Sedan

In an effort to survive when the Great Depression began to bite, the Marmon Company of Indianapolis developed its luxurious Sixteen to compete with the Duesenberg J and the anticipated Cadillac V-16. It offered a V-16 engine with almost as much power and torque as a Duesenberg - and every new car was tested to its limits on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Marmon Sixteen was built for three years, and 491 were sold before the company closed its doors. Around 70 of these cars remain.

This example is one of twelve with this LeBaron coachwork. The sedan lived in New York City for a time before being sold to a European owner who entered it in the 1974 Monte Carlo Rally. A later owner, Ardell Miller, took it to the Marmon reunion and drove it once again at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1993. It has since been fully restored by its new owner.
