This Marmon is cool

There was a Marmon Truck Show around Anna Texas. Not sure about it still being heid

 

Always liked those Dallas made trucks. They mixed a little of the best features of all the makes into one design. IHC cab, KW windshields, Pete doors, Frieghtliner sleeper, Western Star fenders. Etc etc.

 

I've known some cool Mormons.

 

There is a number "85" on the sleeper box. Perhaps for the year 1985?

Regardless, a very good looking truck!

 

Saw this one last fall

 

There’s a Car Dealership in Janesville Wi. He got a Marmon Franchise, right before they went under. Never even got a single Truck on the lot. Had a trailer full of brand new parts, along with a sign. He was selling everything fairly cheap at the time. He was very angry about the ordeal. He ended up getting a Western Star Franchise instead, even though there was already a WS Dealership a few miles away. I couldn’t help but think some day the parts would be worth a lot. Fagan Western Star, I Don’t t know if he’s still a WS Dealer. He has quite a few Automotive Franchises.Been there for years. None of it made sense.

 

Theres a couple of them still running out here in the northwest

 

Anybody remember the Presidential Golden Edition?
It traveled around the truck show curcuit back in the early 1990’s.
I always thought they should have done the stacks and wheels in gold too.
