Anybody Know About Marmon-Herrington?

[41/53dodges]

We were searching around town here today, and ran across an old delivery truck sitting in the weeds at a dealership. turns out, the thing is a Marmon-Herrington Delivr-All. according to somebody on Hemmings, there are only 6 known to still exist! does anybody know about these things at all? google renders little help, but maybe I can get some pics later!

They were most know for producing 4wd drive components, and had a partnership with Ford to provide their early 4wd drive stuff.  Mostly they were know for real heavy duty stuff like logging equipment military drive trains etc.  They did make their own line of truck and a fellow near here had a Marmon 3 drive axle HD recovery tow truck.  I believe its a 1959/60.  I have seen it pulling transit buses, road tractors, fire trucks, and heavy construction equipment.

I guess they can add one more to the known survivors.
