Marmon-Herrington

Founded in 1931 by Walter Marmon and Arthur Herrington to build all-wheel-drive trucks, Marmon-Herrington sold small numbers of converted Ford ½-ton trucks to the US Army, the Belgian Army and other governments from about 1936 and built the T9 half-track for the Army the same year; its Ford conversions, sold through Ford dealers, were the Ford four-wheel drive until Ford’s own of 1959. It built the Marmon-Herrington armoured cars of the South African forces in the war and trolleybuses in 1946–59, left Indianapolis in 1963 and continues at Louisville as an axle and all-wheel-drive conversion maker.
