In 1963, after
Marmon-Herrington, the successor to the
Marmon Motor Car Company, ceased truck production, a new company, Marmon Motor Company of
Denton, Texas, purchased and revived the Marmon brand to build and sell premium truck designs that Marmon-Herrington had been planning. The Marmon truck was a low-production, handmade truck sometimes dubbed
the Rolls-Royce of trucks. An overcrowded American truck industry and the lack of a nationwide sales network led to the eventual failure of Marmon trucks in the United States. The last Marmon was made in 1997, and the production facilities in
Garland, Texas, were taken over by
Navistar’s Paystar division. == Models ==
