Established in Watertown, Massachusetts, Locomobile was the early motoring choice for many of America’s elite enthusiasts. Renowned for its fast and luxurious automobiles, Locomobile’s reputation was heightened by victory in the 1908 Vanderbilt Cup – the first for an American marque. The mighty six-cylinder Model 48, introduced in 1911, went on to be a Locomobile mainstay through 1927.

This lovely Model 48 carries exceedingly rare and quite sporting coachwork built by the Charles Schutte Body Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. A rare Locomobile survivor with interesting coachwork, this Model 48 is a well-preserved and attractive example. While not currently in running condition, it will certainly serve as a fine candidate for mechanical recommissioning or full restoration.
