It's in fair shape to get mechanically fit and then attack the cosmetics. The Marmon has one asset and one downfall. Most mechanical components are from vendors that supplied Marmon. That's a plus. The minus is the cab and hood as they are specific to Marmon. The glass being flat is a good old school fix from the neighborhood glass shop. I would drain the transmission and rear ends using paint strainers to catch any surprises and reuse it until road ready. Way cool!
