Roosevelt [2]

UNITED STATES

1929-1930

The Roosevelt was named after Rough Rider and former President Theodore Roosevelt. The Roosevelt was claimed to be the first straight-8 engined car in America to sell for under $1,000 - a claim which was true, as the price for the Roosevelt sedan was $995.
Designed by Count Alexis DeSakhnoffsky, the Roosevelt was a handsome car featuring a lightning-rod motif in chrome across the radiator core and horizontal bonnet louvres. The Roosevelt range comprised the sedan, coupe, victoria and convertible. Sales for the Roosevelt were approximately 25,000 cars, but the name was changed to the Marmon-Roosevelt in 1930, with the car being named as the Marmon Model 70 for 1931.
