1931 Marmon Model 16 Navigation
Howard Marmon, founder of the Marmon Motor Car Company, began work on his V16 engine in 1927 but did not start production on the celebrated Marmon Sixteen until 1931. Pinned to the 145-inch wheelbase, the powerful 491 cubic-inch V16 engine was partly constructed from lightweight aluminum with 200 horsepower and could produce speeds above 100 mph. In 1931, Howard Marmon won the SAE (previously the Society of Automobile Engineers) Outstanding Engineering Achievement Award for his innovations on the Marmon Sixteen, specifically the ball-bearing steering and down-draft carburation. Only 400 Marmon Sixteen units were produced over a three-year period and this example (chassis 161 416 41) exhibits the 2-4 Rumble Seat Coupe bodywork by LeBaron.
