1919 LOCOMOBILE MODEL 48 SIX CYLINDER SPORTIF
Chassis No. 16041
Engine No. 12091
Dark claret with maroon tufted red leather interior, dark red carpeting and tan convertible top
Engine: T-head, in-line, six cylinder, 525ci, 103bhp; Gearbox: four-speed manual; Suspension: front and rear semi-elliptic springs with shock absorbers; Brakes: mechanical contracting on rear wheels. Left hand drive.
Among the luxury motor cars available in America in 1919 the Locomobile 48 was one of the most powerful. With a calculated horsepower rating of 48.6 and developed brake horsepower of 103, the T-head six cylinder powerplant exceeded the powerplants of rivals such as Packard, Cadillac, Peerless, Cunningham and even the legendary Stutz and Mercer. The engine developed stump-pulling torque at very low rpm, giving the driver great flexibility as well as more than ample performance when shifting through both crowded city streets and the countyside. The Locomobile Model 48's drivetrain was developed well before WWI and continued to be used until the end of production in 1929. Factory coachwork was indeed equal to custom efforts as they employed their own custom coachworks in-house. For Locomobile, use of the highest quality materials and workmanship was the guiding principle in every automobile they built.
The car offered here is an older restoration. A tag on the driver's side indicates that the restoration was carried out by the Wendeling Brothers. The paintwork and brightwork appears to have mellowed over the years. The underbody looks quite worn and well used. The Locomobile is fitted with the correct purple Bausch and Lomb glass Locomobile headlamps. It carries a trunk at the rear for extra luggage capacity when touring and has the typical and correct Locomobile dual spare tires and rims mounted aft. Modern directional signals have been neatly installed for additional safety when touring in traffic. The Locomobile is fitted with a Klaxon horn, Howe Searchlamps, a Chelsea clock, the correct Model 1901 Series carburetor, dual Locomobile tail lamps as well as its original gas tank. The original 37-inch wheels appear to have been reduced in size. Curiously, the fenders on this example appear incorrect, however, we encourage closer inspection for verification of this. Additionally, the nickel plating, with the exclusion of the radiator, has been restored using chromium plate for ease of maintenance. A fine red coach line complements the lovely deep claret, giving the car a conservative yet sporting appearance.
With its rugged drivetrain and impeccable construction, this handsome motor car should provide the new owner with an excellent tour and show vehicle. It is quite capable of running at modern highway speeds and would be welcome at such events as the Glidden Tour and other driving activities of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America and the Antique Automobile Club of America.
