  1. That is spectacular! So much work to design and implement successfully. Fantastic
  2. Wow, tell me about that intake manifold! Did you pattern and cast that to accommodate what appears to be a Rayfield carbie? Impressive thing indeed. If so can I borrow the pattern?
  3. A 425 CID brass car with 62 hp a "small" Locomobile, c'mon man!
  4. Just for reference. The 1912 six or model "M" (48) was 4.5 X 4.5 X 6. 429 CID (advertised 70 actual HP) The 1913 little six or model "R" 38 was 4.25 X 5 X 6. 425 CID (advertised 63 actual HP) I have heard tell that some consider the 38 a red headed stepchild, what is the reasoning? Ignorance, that is all.
  5. Tell me that makes sense! Can't make it up. Seeing is believing.

  7. Write to Layden Butler. He is the resident expert on rims: laydenandjean@comcast.net
  8. The Locomobile Company published that illustration and their designation of the model being a four passenger rounded back end as a gunboat roadster in their custom body department catalog for 1917. The photographs of the boat tailed Locomobile depicted in this forum does not appear to be a "gunboat" by Locomobile published illustration.
  9. I would invite her (the machine) to stay as long as she'd like!
  10. George, do you have access to a copy of number 1 "Invoice for Locomobile converter for A.L. Riker, 1920"? If so, would you kindly share a copy? Thanks in advance.
  11. Saw in in the forums and reposted here since our friend was looking at speedster bodies. The one pictured is a Studebaker.
  12. Right back at 'ya my friend!

    Hi Ed in Mass, Any chance you would know the GVW of a model C travelodge? I am trying to title one, and the dmv wants to know the GVW. Thanks a lot. John
  14. Just to be clear, reporting only what is found printed or described in authentic factory publications of the period. The information reported is not the author's opinion. People are permitted to accept or reject what is printed, however the facts reported are not conjecture or "semantics", simply the reporting of the actual words printed in the factory publications. Also, please note the statements are not directed to or intended to explain, correct, or contradict what Riker (any one of the three of them) may have reported. Anyone may express any opinion or interpretation which he may desire, which is the license of the First Amendment.
  15. Are you quoting Riker senior, Riker junior or Riker junior's junior?
  16. Former Mark J Smith Locomobile. Very special
