Class first at Meadow Brook in 2010. Very good older paint. Good upholstery and top. The brass needs attention but the Loco is terrific.
Market commentary
Locomobile is one of the great marques of the early 20th century. They were so well built using only the best materials that they frequently fell victim to scrappers in search of their steel, brass and bronze making this 1909 Model 40's survival something of a miracle. It's been peddled by Mecum since Monterey 2013 with a succession of high bids from $450,000 to today's $370,000 without finding a home.
