In the July issue of Hemmings Motor News, the car that was listed on EBAY is for sale. The "Custom Convertible Devaux" from Southern California. He is asking $5200. There is also a Locomobile for sale in Hemmings, but no price.

Wasn't this car the one with the butchered back end? Seemed to me I remember it being one with a 'boat tail' derriere......and how's the rest of the running gear?

You are correct - it is the yellow "alteration". The seller must be firm with his price, because if I remember correctly the bids on EBAY were over $4000.

Dennis,
You mentioned a Locomobile you saw in the July Hemmings?

What year and model Loco is it, as well as price , contact info, etc.?

Can you post the information here for the club. We are starting to develop more interest in the Locomobiles's branch within the club. Thanks.

Dennis,
Thanks for the Info on the 1919 Locomobile Model 48 Sportif, that is the upper end premimum model in a long wheelbase (145" WB) sporty 4Dr touring body style. They are listed by the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) as atrue classic. I have seen these listed for $175K to $225K and on up from there. Very nice cars, but pricey.
Thanks Lance C.
