1914 Lozier Model 84 MeadowBrook Runabout

This 1914 Lozier Model 84 Meadowbrook Runabout was once in very deplorable condition. It was acquired as a bare chassis, and a new body was created using factory photographs and plans. The complete restoration was performed during the 1990s for the Don Boulton Collection. It was given Houk wire wheels which were optional for this vehicle, and painted white with blue fenders. It has left-hand driving steering, no windshield, black leather upholstery, and a black soft top. The lights are gas-powered, which was period-correct for the Lozier Company.

The vehicle is powered by a 368.8 cubic-inch L-head engine that offers 56 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox, two-wheel mechanical brakes, and a chassis that measures 120 inches.

In 2008 this 1914 Lozier Type 84 was brought to RM Auctions' Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook. It was estimated to sell for $150,000-$225,000. Bidding reached $120,000 but was not enough to satisfy the car's reserve. The lot was unsold sold.
