A Hog and a Marmon Roosevelt car

[ragnerok]

Saw this Hog and this 1929 Marmon Roosevelt today and thought i would share.

This Roosevelt was taken into Norway back in 1929 and has had the same owner driving this wonderfull car, all years from 1929 to 1981.
Engine is a 201 cui. straight eight.

Have no specs. on the Hog, sorry...

Enjoy...

Cool old car, I really like old cars and rare different than normal old cars.

That's fantastic ! My father had a car when he was a youngster and called it a " baby Marmon " He couldn't remember any other name and couldn't find anyone who knew . Shortly after his death I saw one in a museum in New Jersey ! This had to be the one but it was the Roosevelt model. Marmon has an interesting history including the winner of thr first Indy 500 IIRC. in their racing cars they used large amounts of the
now "new metal "LOL . They were one of the car makers who made large cars but into the '20s they realized they needed a wider selection so they came out with the 8 rather than 12 cylinder. Thanks for the photos !

The museum I saw it is the "Space Museum" in Sussex County NJ.It has nothing to do with space but contains old cars , tools, artifacts of American Indians and other interesting items .

A unique feature was the horn --push ,the horn sounds -twist, turns on/off headlights - pull up ,it's the starter !!
My brother reminded me that our father said it wasn't a good car !
