Marmon HCM prototype

I recently got an email from someone who had made a film for a cable show.
It's a clip about a car that I really love. I had read about it a very long time ago but I had assumed that it was long gone. In 2002 I was in Kalamazoo and I saw this car displayed at a show. I went nuts. I crawled all over and under it, and then spent the afternoon giving tours to anybody that stopped to look at it. The owner had gotten the car as part of an auction lot but didn't know what it was. His mechanic, who had purchased the lot, did some research on the car and found out how important it was and said to the owner that "we've really got something here".
He made the decision to restore it the way it SHOULD be restored. He didn't realize what he was getting into. He stuck with it, way further than almost anyone else could afford to. What he ended up with is a perfect restoration that cost many times more than what it's resale value could be. He invested in a historical record and I thank him for it.

Here is the film clip that is on YouTube: HCM Movie

Here are the pictures of this car from Kalamazoo: HCM Photos

This is a little off topic, but I just opened this email and it brought back the memories of this car. I pulled out the pictures and loaded them up.
