Super Marauder Info

Thought everyone might find the text of this email I just received interesting. I certainly did.



Hi!
Zach Merrill referred me to your website and I appreciated your adjective about the Super Marauder Air Filter Housing. I designed that in the summer of '57 for L-M Division, working through Bill Stroppe. I have one he gave me on a walnut trophy base; it's the earliest version with no name, and scallops on the rear to clear the wiper motor. I had worked at Dearborn for Ford Styling about four years prior but preferred to return to Southern California and wound up as Art Director, then Editor of ROD & Custom at Petersen Publishing. I also styled the fuel pump top/gas filter/distribtion block and the rocker covers with the M and fins that matched the filter housing. I've written a history of all this for The Quicksilver magazine and am gathering pix taken at the time.
