If you are planning a visit to the MTFCA Museum,
take a day to see the Childrens Museum in Indianapolis :-)

My daughter came with me to drop off this 1931 Marmon outside Indianapolis on Tuesday.

We went to the Childrens Museum later .... :-)

On Wednesday we stopped by the MTFCA Museum.

A few guys were outside hanging up a sign,
the collection was great to view, bought some gift shop items.

That is a 1931 Marmon.
The engine is a 12 cylinder aluminum block.
300 some were made in Indiana, they were wood bodied with metal panels.
About 80 some remain, the guy I took it to has
owned about 5 over the years.
It took about a year to rebuild the body from
a wheelbarrow of pieces.
Marmon continued making trucks into the 1960's.

All of that was lost on my daughter, she was happy to run the electric winch .... :-)
