alsfarms 765 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Here is the place to speak about the later series Locomobile and all 8 cylinder models. Post a few pictures if you own one of these automobiles. Al Edited August 19, 2020 by alsfarms correction (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
alsfarms 765 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Who can speak about the differences between the Junior 8, the 8-70, the 8-80, the 8-88 and the 8-90? Are the 8-80 and the 8-88 basically the same car just a different year? Was there ever built an 8-90 or 8-120? Pictures would be good. Al Link to post Share on other sites
alsfarms 765 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 If I am not mistaken the Model 90 is basically a carry-over of the Model 48 or does it have a different 6 cylinder engine? Al Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_a 405 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Don't own it -- but found a nice set of photos for a 1928 Locomobile on Worthpoint. A Model 8-70 Sedan which had won an AACA First in 1967, been in the Harrah collection, and was for sale about 15 years ago, probably in the U.K. It has a 246.7 Cu. In. Lycoming I-8 powerplant. They seemed to think the serial number was DS 8336.https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1928-locomobile-70-sedan-163858797 Edited August 23, 2020 by jeff_a (see edit history) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

alsfarms 765 Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Has anyone here run a Locomobile Junior 8 against or with a Little "8" Marmon? I am curious how they actually compare. At one time I owned a 1927 "Little" Marmon 4 passenger speedster. It was a nice running car and ran out very well. I have to admit, that automobile taught me to NOT hold Dayton wire wheels in high regard. It was certainly a nice looking 4 passenger touring car. If you can, share some thoughts on the Junior 8 Locomobile. Alan Link to post Share on other sites
alsfarms 765 Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Here is a few pictures of a very nice 1927 full classic Model 8-80 Locomobile. Check out the "Not Mine" under cars for sale on the AACA for sale forums. Picture 1 Al Link to post Share on other sites

alsfarms 765 Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Here is a link to the huge Locomobile literature collection now held by the Bridgeport Public Library. They are very nice and helpful to deal with. If you need or want anything listed give them a try. The list is extensive!! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://bportlibrary.org/hc/wp-content/uploads/BHC-MSS-0003-Records-of-the-Locomobile-Company-of-America.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwipp-LMyrTqAhXiWhUIHVFzBakQFjAIegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw2Du2pN8iz6j7WGKE73Yuf6 Al Link to post Share on other sites
