Marrakesh Express 56 Stocker
Anyone have a photo of the Marrakesh Express 56 Chevy Jr/Stocker? Trying to help a fellow I.D. a rusty 56 that he found. Only info is 1965 Nationals Class Winner on the roof sides. The Marrakesh 56 is only a guess. Thanks. Tom,

O-K, according to Dick Butler It's not the Marrakesh car. I guess the only thing to go on is the 1965 Nationals Class Winner lettering.

Was that the same car in Wild World Of Sports back in 63 or 64? John Conamakie(sp) was the announcer. D |

Re: Marrakesh Express 56 Stocker
Photos of the 56 on H.A.M.B. might be the "Music Maker" which was campaigned by Marlin Snyder of Speedway Indiana. I believe he did win class at the Nationals in Detroit in the 60s. He tried several other body styles. A 150 4 dr was also run for a while. Then an early green vette. He went to S/G. I have not spoken to him in years as I havent been actively racing.
Marrakesh Express name was used by some brothers from near Lawrenceburg indiana. They raced a 56 2 dr wagon. They then traded me a 69 Camaro for my 56 wagon.( They failed to pay me my cash difference). |

I have Marlins phone number. I'll see if it was his or his brothers.

Re: Marrakesh Express 56 Stocker
Spoke with Marlin Snyder tonight and he said that the car in question belonged to he and his brother. It was painted red/white and blue and ran H/S. It also had the "ESSO" put a tiger in your tank logo painted on the trunk lid. I have forwarded thie pics to him. Tom.
