Market commentary
The Locomobile Type 40 was lost on the Mecum Houston bidders, a relic of another age among Corvettes and Shelbys. It was reported bid to $400,000 at Mecum's Monterey auction last August. If, however, the consignor is insistent and the car could be bought for anything close to the reported bid here or in Monterey it would be a great value. Keep hoping.
