Equipment

RHD. Jones speedometer, Klaxon electric horn, Locomotive headlights, side lights and taillight, dual rear mounted spares, mother in law seat, wood spoke wheels with 37x5 blackwall tires, seat belts.

Condition

Restored in the mid 90s Lighting has been electrified and hydraulic rear brakes added for touring Paint and upholstery are good but some of the brass needs attention Engine and chassis show only limited use and age Recently unused for several years so it is in need of mechanical attention and a thorough check for safety and reliability A big, imposing automobile that could be detailed back to show quality

Market commentary

The only thing Baby about this Locomobile is the body style name. In all other respects it is a big car. Sold by RM here in 2008 for $357,500 and apparently unused since, the result here recognizes the attention it will need and demonstrates the importance of using collector cars and keeping up with their maintenance. Once it has had the attention it needs, however, it will be a great tour car.
