1939 Ford Marmon Herrington 1 Ton: Marmon-Herrington Incorporated was formed in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1931 by Walter C. Marmon and Colonel Arthur W. Herrington. Marmon had worked with his brother Howard at the Marmon Motor Car Company, tending to the business side of the firm while his sibling directed the engineering. The British-born Herrington had served in the U.S. Army where he worked on the development of all-wheel drive vehicles. The two took over one of the plants of the faltering Marmon car company and began building 4x4 and 6x6 trucks for the Army. Herrington patented a novel drive system for the front wheels, using constant velocity universal joints, which became a crucial part of their vehicles, which were assembled units using Hercules engines. Company output included aircraft refueling trucks, mobile machine shops, barrage balloon winch trucks, reconnaissance trucks, armored cars, scout cars and wreckers. Some of the armored cars and scout cars had four-wheel steering. By 1935 they were selling to overseas customers in Persia and Saudi Arabia, and developed a Ford-based tank for the US Army, as well as a trailer to transport it. Designated the CTL-1, it was tested at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Army called it the Combat Train and it was quite successful, leading to the T-2 scout car for the Ordnance Department. That same year they began converting Ford chassis for civilian markets, initially 1-1/2 ton models. Their first light duty vehicles came in 1937, and by 1939 there were some 56 different models of Marmon-Herrington Ford conversions. They were offered not only as pickups and station wagons, but also in chassis, stake truck, panel truck, coupe, sedan and sedan delivery form, though only with 85 hp V8 engines. No production records are known to survive for Marmon-Herrington Fords. Since they were essentially hand-built, assembly rate was necessarily slow and output small, even when demand surged during World War II. Marmon-Herrington aficionados report that only ten or a dozen of each year are known to exist. Look all over and I can promise you won't find another like this beauty! There trucks are VERY RARE and we were fortunate to be present when a local Marmon Herrington collector decided to let one go. This beautiful Ford was restored in 2012 and has only seen about 10 miles of asphalt since. It has spent years in an exceptional Texas collection and we are now offering an opportunity to add it to yours. Search the internet and see if you can find an auction result or current offering that is less than double our asking price. Install the front driveshaft (included in sale), add a rear bumper and wiper arm, and you have a 100% complete show vehicle. A new battery will be installed before vehicle ships. If you think work trucks are basic today you can only image how utilitarian they were over 75 years ago. The features and options list isn't extensive but includes some great components such as; Flathead V8 Engine, 4 Speed Manual, All Wheel Drive, Running Boards, Chrome Front Bumper, Wood Bed, Green Vinyl Bench, 17" Steel Wheels, and Brand New Tornel 7.50 - 17 Tires!

1963 Ford C-600 (COE) Custom Car Hauler: The Ford C-Series was a medium-duty cab-over engine (COE) truck built by the Ford Motor Company between 1957 and 1990. While advertisers boasted of its versatility, it was used primarily for local delivery, and fire apparatus. Many of the fire trucks came merely as cab and windshield models. In production nearly unchanged for 33 years, the C-Series was the longest-produced commercial truck in North America at the time it was discontinued in 1990. Only the Mack Model R (39 years) and Kenworth W900 (53 years; still in production) have remained in production longer. As Ford started squaring off its vehicles in 1957, they finally gave the cab-overs their own designs separate from the rest of the Ford truck lineup. It featured a small grille near the front bumper, with a four-pointed star emblem on each end, the word "F O R D" spelled out below the windshield, and had a cog-and-lightning bolt crest emblem between the headlights. Variations of this emblem were found on many other Ford trucks during the 1950s and into the 1960s. The C-Series held onto this logo the longest. In a fashion similar to the Checker Marathon or Volkswagen Beetle, changes to the C-Series trucks throughout its production were very subtle. If anywhere, many of these changes were identifiable by the changes in the cowl insignias and badging. For 1963, the C-Series was updated with the same cowl insignias used by the rest of the medium- and heavy-duty truck line up. The logo had the word FORD on top of a trapezoid with the model number designation. This insignia was used until 1967. Also in 1963, Ford introduced diesel versions of the C-series, as well as the N-series and Heavy-Duty F-Series. Whether you have a small collection or an entire dealership, this C-600 provides the opportunity to arrive in true "classic" style better than any other. This custom-built car hauler was restored with no expenses spared by a restoration shop and classic car dealership. The purpose of the build was to have a unique showpiece used to deliver vehicles to local customer and for transporting classics to and from shows. Space and money constraints forced the sale of the truck shortly after completion which attests to the 250 miles currently registered on the odometer. This COE project started with a solid race car transporter and has evoloved into the frame-off restored beauty you have the opportunity to own today. Considering how much work was done in-house at cost, the total of the expenses which accompany this sale add up to a staggering dollar figure. There are ramps hidden in the rear cargo area that you can drive up on and there is a belly-mounted Warn Winch for those classics that decide to be difficult at times. Highlights of this build include; Rebuilt 370 Ford Truck Engine (replaced the original 292 Y block), Rebuilt Allison Automatic Transmission (replaced the original 4 speed manual), New Brakes & Lines, Rebuilt Rear-end, New Wiring, New Redline Gauges, Cleaned & Lined Gas Tanks, Six Powder Coated 20" Steel Wheels, Six New Doublecoin RR400 9.00R20 Tires, New King Pins, New Weather Stripping & Rattle Kit, Restored Steering Wheel, New Paint, New Interior, New Window Felts, New Warn Winch, Cleaned & Painted Frame, Powder Coated Ramps, New Wood Floors in Ramp Bed, and New Lighting in Bed Interior. In summary, everything on this COE is new, fully restored and/or rebuilt! I probably should have said that first and saved you some reading and me some typing. As you will see from the photos below, this is an unique Cab-Over custom car hauler that can be purchased for only $35,988! I personally attend several of the largest classic auctions around the US each year and have recently seen similar 50's-60's restored car haulers sell for $40-70k. You can't beat this price and, as often heard in the classic car community, "....you can't built it for this kind of money." I am adding a MAJOR incentive to sell this C600 in the next 3 weeks. With the ""Buy it Now"" option you on eBay can own this unique COE now and receive FREE SHIPPING * to your driveway. Not only is shipping free but we will handle all of the shipping arrangements and provide complete cargo insurance while in transit. Why wait a week just to be out bid at the last second by another bidder? We sell 90% of our cars with the low "Buy it Now" option. This classic Ford C-600 is not a vehicle you are going to find at your local dealership. Reserve is set just below the "Buy it Now" price. Why wait?
