Many thanks to Glen, Wester, Kieth and Ed, for setting me straight!
I somehow thought the 2007 Pebble Beach winner was manufactured by the MARMON
Automobile Company (1903 to 1933 - makers of the 'Marmon Wasp' - first Indy 500
winner) and people were mis-spelling the name MORMON (the religion).
Now I get it! The thing was made by Dusenberg (in 1935) and named "The
Mormon Meteor" due to the Ab Jenkins / Mormon / salt flats connection.
Learning every day!!...and loving it! ;o)
Jim
