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.
