Never thought I would ask this here, but doe you guys have any experience with Marmon V12's.

Plus do you do inspections on brass era cars pre purchase. There is a 1927 Marmon L I might want looked at.

No hands-on experience with Marmon V12 engines but we can do whatever research we need. We have a lot of period literature on early cars, I'm sure Marmon is covered in some of our manuals.

We are available for pre-purchase inspections, we also have a Freightliner and a fully enclosed, unmarked car hauler for the privacy and security of our customers.

PM me if you need contact information.

That Packard, jaw dropping, did they really look THAT nice when they rolled out of Detroit? Just knowing I've walked the same place something that good looking rolled through in 1934 is awesome.

Well, the book I have on the 1934 Packards claims that V12 production was three cars a day.

I don't know if they had the time to make them quite as nice as this.

Unfortunately, we over-restore cars nowadays. Whether it's the perfect "show chrome" or the muscle car guys reproducing runs in the paint.

No. He's misleading us. He's actually a 'tire pressure technician'. I've NEVER seen anyone clock a valve stem cap like him! EVAR!

Those are amazing, beautiful cars. I'm envious that you got to work on them.

What a sweet project/result!

Not being a smart ass, but "coupe roadster" sounds like an oxymoron......Any idea why/where that nomenclature came from?

That's what the factory called it.

So that's what it's called.

In reply to stroker:

We took a few as we got started, I've got them on the work computer, I'll see what I can do.

If you click on the gallery link, there's some progress pics of the Packard.
