Not a Marmon. This car was named after its engine (also the name of a state)

A US state?

Is it a Stutz/Wisconsin?

Yes! 1922 Wisconsin Special to unseat USAC champion Tommy Milton. The car was named after its 836 cubic inch Wisconsin Airplane 6-cylinder motor, which was directly connected to the rear wheels. The car was 192 inches (488 cm) long, 20 inches wide, and 250 horsepower.
