      The original car line ceased operation in 1933. In short, Marmon trucks was a spin off of Marmon-Herrington when they ceased operation in 1963. A new company, Marmon Motor Company of Denton, Texas, purchased and revived the Marmon brand to build and sell premium truck designs that Marmon-Herrington had been planning. They ceased operation in 1997.

    What I would give to travel back in time and go through the Ford Exposition. I could spend all day watching the manufacturing processes. I live in the Detroit area, and my dad would bring me to the Rotunda 2 or 3 times a year, especially at Christmas time. Going for rides in the new cars was special ( I loved the Edsel and the Continental) That place was so special... and I honestly cried when it burned down. My dad said they'd rebuild it...but they never did. I still miss it. Never realized till later in life where it came from, but I have some coins from the '33 fair that my Grandpa went to.

    Great video! I used to visit that museum for many years in the late 80’s through the mid 90’s and looks like their collection has grown tremendously. Do they still have the mid 60’s prototype Duesenburg? They also used to host rotating exhibitions and I was lucky to see some very rare prototypes from the 50’s and 60’s. It looks like they may not have the space for that anymore. Again, thanks for the great video.

    This Chicago World's Fair was extended an extra year through 1934. Almost 50 Million tickets were sold in its two year existence. The modern architectural style of it was peak Art Deco. The Ford Rotunda was added during the second year, and after the World’s Fair the Rotunda was dismantled and rebuilt in Dearborn, Michigan. It was a popular attraction (especially famous for its Christmas displays) until it burned down in 1962, never to be rebuilt. A "Twenty Grand" ($20,000) Duesenberg was the most impressive car exhibited at this world's fair. That was an astonishing sum in an era when a house could be purchased for $5,000 and a nice new car for $1,000. New York City would host the next great World's Fair in 1939/1940.

He also had a ton of WF memorabilia that we sold off after he passed away. A lot of these WF items shown in the video wound up at The Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. Both places are well worth the trip if you are in the area. Heck, they are worth a special trip to Detroit if you are a car nut!🙂

    Ford made the flathead V8 in two different models one was a 65 horsepower and the other was 85 horsepower back in the thirtys and went from flathead to overhead valves in 1954.We use to drag race and the overhead won every time.They used flathead V8 in stock car racing untill it slowly evoved out they were very ruggette engines.How you could tell the difference between a 65 horsepower and 85 horsepower is one had the distributator in the front engine and the other had the distributor in the rear of the engine.
