FactBuilt with an aluminum body and chassis to save weight, the Model 34 was driven coast-to-coast as a publicity stunt — beating Erwin "Cannonball" Baker's own cross-country record.
The Marmon Model 34, introduced 1916, used an all-aluminum straight-six (body and chassis aluminum too) to cut weight to 3,295 lb (1,495 kg) — over 11,000 built by 1920, and one example famously beat Erwin "Cannonball" Baker's transcontinental record as a publicity stunt. Its six-cylinder engine displaced 5,565 cc (5.565 L); no horsepower figure is stated on the page. Wheelbase 136 in (3,454 mm). Replaced by new models for the 1924 model year.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
