Try owning a Marmon! "who makes Marmon?" 

Me: Marmon makes Marmon

Other person: Yeah, but what company owns Marmon?

Me Marmon Group

Yeah but who owns them?

I give up.

another "for lack of explanation/words" story = try working at a Mack dealership ,going on almost every road call to hear "why does a Mack dealership have a Diamond T wrecker ?"  you just give up  trying to give answers. the temptation was there to remove the Diamond T front logo and install a Mack emblem. fortunately with the major help from a great co-worker ++Doug Allen ; we talked management into update the Diamond to a good used B model.

I get the same question at shows with my 1949 Diamond T 201 pick up..

Who made Diamond T???

Thus a long history lesson of how Charles Tilt started in 1905 up thru White's merger of DT and REO in 1967. A few have heard of Diamond REOs so that helps.

Diamond T and IHC, both shared a fair bit over the years, with Diamond T even using some IHC engines, but there was never any doubt which had more "bling" or was the upscale Mfg, that has always been Diamond T!
