Got over to Dick Headman's garage the other day when he was there to get some pictures of the Locomobile.

That interior pattern is wild. Would the original have looked like that?

this is basically a custom car- the owner could have chosen anything they wish.
 
It is an original 1914 Locomobile. Talked to the owner today, and they now have all the electrical issues resolved. They are going to start on getting the engine to running. The engine displaces over 500 cubic inches. There are only two of these known in existence. The coachwork is French, but was built in the US.

If the engine displaces over 500 cid, then it sounds like it is a model 48.

Is the "other one" the gray car pictured in the other other Locomobile thread ?
 
A Locomobile 48 is probably my top "dream car". I doubt it will ever happen, but if I ever hit the Power-Ball.... ;)

Nay...................... go for a Mercer raceabout!
 
As a kid on Long Island in the 1950's and 60's, friends of my parents had a 1920's motoryacht that had a Locomobile engine. I remember that engine as being absolutely huge. If the boat is still around I'm sure it's been repowered, probably because they needed a part to tune it up.
