Hi Chris .. have just sent you our form to add your Loco to the Registry.
8-80 vins 1927 are 101 - 600. I only see one car in the Registry so far for 8-80 1927 which is a 5 passenger sedan.
Interesting Mike .. Our info on 8-80 indicates 130 inch WB 1927 with Sport Touring, Coupe non Collapsible, Brougham, Sedan 5 passenger, Sedan 7 passenger, Sedan Suburban 7 passenger.
1928 130 inch Roadster, Phaeton, Coupe Collapsible, Victoria Coupe.
1928 140 inch Touring 7 passenger, Victoria Sedan 5 passenger, Cabriolet 7 passenger, Sedan 7 passenger, Sedan Suburban 7 passenger.
(only have two 1928 cars in the Registry with scanty info)
No cars 1929 in Registry Jan to March factory closing. Models slightly different with three only on 140 inch Touring 7 passenger, Sedan 7 passenger, Sedan Suburban 7 passenger.
but 130 has 5 more. Cabriolet 6 passenger, Brougham, Sedan 5 passenger, Sedan 5 passenger 5 wire wheels. Sedan 5 passenger 5 wood wheels.

norm: the only variance to sedans in 1927 was 13 special built vehicles that were pulled off assembly line and sent to a dealer then sent to central manufacturing company. All others were sedans. There were approximately 27 8-80 built in 1927. Also there was some 8-70's that were also done off the "f" line. In 1928 there was a full gamut of production cars.

I have 8-70 which replaced the 8-66 as Nov 1 1927 to Dec 31 1928 vins 5751 to 6792 and 5 listed. 8-70 continued the vin numbers from 8-66 The one in Finland is close to the end 6708 for 1928. Again none for 1929.
Your confusing me saying only 27 8-80 built 1927 when Chris has 255 (and they started at 101) and Registry has 202.

Yes once you leave the site you can't edit the posting. Pain with the letters / numbers item to allow posting, takes two or three tries before that works. If you try posting too many times you get warning you have posted too many times and might not be allowed to.

Dave. Buy the way, the 1926 locomobile jr you referred to on craigslist was a brougham. Nice original car. Had not heard from him in a while. Might have sold it. There has been several locomobiles found on the outskirts of los angeles. Keep looking you might find one soon?

Norm. the car that is listed on e-bay used to belong to Ryan kolb. I have this car listed on my 8-80 listing (#202). It"s has been for sale for awhile. Check the listings of hemmings and you will see it here. The story of the car was it was offered to Lance Chabot and when he went to set up a date for pickup the owner had already sold the car. I traced it to Arizona via another locomobile collector. If you look in our photo section under locomobiles the grey and black one is that car.
