This vehicle is a 1912 Locomobile 6-48 Model M Sportsman Torpedo Touring car and was treated to an extensive restoration which began in 1997. It took two years for the professional restoration to be completed. Locomobile's offered their vehicles in a choice of colors. This example is finished in burnt orange with deep maroon fenders and chassis. The interior is finished in maroon leather and has a black cloth roof.

Factory options include a Jones speedometer and clock, and an Amp meter with white faces and brass bezels. There is a Klaxon horn, optional shock absorbers, an electric start mechanism, and dual taillights.

Between 1911 an 1912, it is believed that only 11 examples of the Locomobile 6-48 models have survived.
