vermontboy Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Why don't you provide a direct link to the ad rather than requiring a potential purchaser to jump through hoops just to view it like everyone else does. I don't play games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Same feeling here. Curious about the car. It's beyond my reach, but I like Locomobiles and would like to know more about this example. But I am not going to create some sort of account just to have a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a previous thread about the car - I think that it's just a case of someone going about a sale in a different way. I agree though that I was not going to sign up for something on a link and had to go looking to find the previous thread.

wayne sheldon Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I have been following this car (NOT closely!) for a few weeks. I wish I could have gone to look at it myself, it isn't all that far from me. But family needs keep being in the way. I also wish it would sell for better money (more!) because this is something I would have loved to have myself a decade or two ago (it would be easier for me to watch it from afar if the price was more beyond my means instead of almost could be done?). At my present stage in life, I simply cannot take on any serious projects (I have several project cars I need to get to work on already, and family problems that keep me from working on them most of the time!). I don't know the people myself, but have not seen anything to make me think it isn't legitimate. Properly restored, it would be a very special vehicle! Albeit one that would not appeal to everyone. Its military parentage might limit its acceptability to some shows and clubs? And it may not hurt it at all? I don't know. Regardless, it is a Locomobile! And would probably be an incredible and impressive tour car! As well as an incredible piece of history! That is my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I think this is the link the original poster meant to post: https://1919pershinglocomobile.wordpress.com/ There's a photo gallery if you click on the link top right. It looks like a nice project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drjulieann Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hi- Garret's wife here. Nothing nefarious intended, just the wrong URL posted. As Jorge mentioned in his post, the link should have been: https://1919pershinglocomobile.wordpress.com/ instead of directing you to the Wordpress administrative log-in page. Our apologies for the confusion and thank you to Wayne and Jorge for having our backs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the correct link: https://1919pershinglocomobile.wordpress.com/ No worries. I do wish I could be in the market for it myself. But I cannot. Good luck with the sale, and I do hope the car gets a good home that will restore it properly! It is an incredible piece, and should be seen and heard with stories about its sister cars overseas. I have a small collection of "World War One" (more properly called the "Great War" because that was what it was called in its day) memorabilia, including two nearly complete uniforms. This stuff is important. Simply wonderful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
