Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual sidemounts and dual rear spares, dual windshields, Cream wood spoke wheels. Aged cosmetics, moth eaten original rear cloth upholstery where Pershing sat. But the important fact is that General John J. Pershing did sit there, the car having been built for him following World War I. Mostly original except for a very old repaint. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Here we have one of the finest quality and most attractive automobiles built in America in the second decade of the 20th century, directly traceable to one of the United States greatest generals. On the road today this 48hp Loco will run with 3 series BMWs and Cadillacs. It is a great, great automobile, and it was bought very reasonably. It is the real deal, and it is a deal, too.
