1915 Locomobile 48 Roadster

The Locomobile, produced in Bridgeport, CT, was advertised as the Uncommon Car because it was produced in small numbers, not exceeding 4 cars per day. The fact that only 1,000 Locomobile closed cars were produced in 10 years illustrates the idea of quality instead of quanity. The vehicle is powered by an in-line, six-cylinder, 425.5 cu. in. engine producing 43.8 hp. The car rests on a 132-inch wheelbase with an aluminum body and weighs approximately 5,500 lbs. The Locomobile was the first vehicle produced with an all-metal top which incorporated the sun visor as part of the roof.
