I accidentally came across this 40 page book at an online auction and purchased it for $30(included shipping and taxes). Didn't really need the book but thought some members might be interested in it.........

Anyway, I wanted to share some prices and diagrams. If there is a need for more pics, just ask and I can upload a specific page. Cheers, Rex

 

That is quite a find.

 

I did not realize Marmon Herrington existed in 1940. I assumed they started in the 1950s.

I was hoping member truckdog62563 would pipe in about his MH(s). Maybe someone could give us a quick history lesson on when this company started and what happened to them.

Cheers, Rex 😁

 

You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmon-Herrington

Here is the first paragraph.
Marmon-Herrington was founded in 1931 by Walter C. Marmon and Arthur W. Herrington as a successor to the Marmon Motor Car Company, a maker of high-quality, costly automobiles from 1902 to 1933.[3] By the early 1930s, the U.S. economy had taken a severe downturn, and with the onset of the Great Depression, the market for prestigious luxury cars mostly collapsed. To keep his business going, Marmon joined forces with an ex-military engineer in the person of Arthur Herrington in 1931, with a new idea to focus on building all-wheel-drive trucks.[4] And so the company became Marmon-Herrington,[5] initially as the truck production division of the Marmon Motor Car Company, developing military trucks.
