Thank-You for the feedback. I will try the FB group.

Ok. Some info I know so far. I got this locomobile from the (3 generations)family that got it 1st hand from original relative owner. They adamantly profess the following info as facts. I need to figure out how to verify it as such. It was the 1st car in the state of Minnesota. Only time it was sold was to me. They say (like everyone does) it is a 1898/99, but this one is 1 of 3 prototypes of the newer upcoming model. Has a name tag on but no s/n It is all original, except tires. Was running fine when last ran. I am wondering who would know more about it and could look it over for me? Thank you Glen Zimmerman 717-587-1124 Gz224@outlook.com New holland, pa 17557

Ok. Here are a few quick pics of the locomobile. As you can see, I want to try to get better matching tires to the original.

Hello to all, I am new to the locomobile steam car scene and I just stumbled across these posts. Very interesting info, Thanks to all who contributed. In the past few years I ended up with an early locomobile steam car that I am trying to keep original and yet operable. I am looking for a way to replicate the original tires on the original wheels. Any ideas where one could find any clincher tires in the correct size? The wheels are original but some model T rubber tires were rigged on. I will post some pics soon of what it looks like. It came from a 4th generation family car that was never outside of their family. They have some interesting back stories I will try to authenticate if I can.
