It is a little later than 1925, but pre-1930. The builder is Dimitri Sensaud de Lavaud.

Walt G Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 Great additions to this thread continue to be made and thus enjoyed by many. Thanks to all of you! Thanks to Tom for the great images!! I am fascinated by the oval stirrup shaped exterior door handles as seen on the Bugatti, it is a style and part carried over from horse drawn carriages up into the early 1930s. My 1930 Packard touring has them fitted as well and they were mostly used on enclosed motor vehicles , many town cars had them on the rear doors. A significant styling item of note that was as mentioned the connection from horse drawn to motor car. I bought a number of them from Rich "the Handleman" at Hershey that he brought to me by request and will spend the winter cleaning and polishing them up. My Christmas present from me to me. Thanks again Rich! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the left is a 1912 Locomobile. On the right , with the unusual brackets is probably a 1912 Chalmers, and the car following the Chalmers is a Simplex. I was just in this area on old automobile row on Broadway looking for dealership buildings and saw Locomobile, Demarest body building, and a few others. Neat to see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Woolf Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The Teetor Hartley Motor Corp in Hagerstown Indiana. The company was originally named the Light Inspection Car Company. Before they supplied engines to the auto industry they built railroad inspection cars. They supplied engines to America, McFarlan, Pilot and other auto makers. The engine business was later sold and they became the Perfect Circle Company and specialized in piston rings. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat to see. Bob, I too have looked for former automotive related buildings in Manhattan! Many survive and some not to terribly altered . The Rollston/Rollson coach builders building was Toyota of Manhattan ( may still be) and the Hispano Suiza sales showroom was not altered as of a decade ago. I have a listing of street addresses here someplace of many of the pre WWII locations of car dealership showrooms. It would make a good "walking tour" for car enthusiasts at some time., with an effort made to try to find photos of the buildings when they were car showrooms and thus compare to today. There was an auto parts store ( accessories) in the south lobby of the Waldorf Astoria hotel! Name was Nil Melior. ( means none finer) I wrote a story about that a while ago.

Steve Moskowitz Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Having a challenge uploading images today but will start with a few from the sale at RM at Hershey. Tons more but no time. Tom the owner of the Locomobile has moved to a retirement home so he sold the car. Believe Dragone's now have it for sale. Somebody does! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 I had lots of information exchanged when/while that Locomobile dual cowl with the cape top was being restored. I have collected Locomobile material of the WWI to 1929 era for decades, factory portfolios for sales as well as the dealers hardbound album for 1920 that was made for Hare's Motors located just west of Central Park South and Columbus Circle, the 59th Street area in New York City. J. Frank de Causse was the manager of the Locomobile design department ( I did a biography for Automobile Quarterly on de Causse about 40 years ago) . I have had "in the works" for a little while a story on Locomobile of the era mentioned focusing on the coach work. Just so many great period photographs/ images/artwork. Yes, Locomobiles of that era are one of my favorite cars . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
