1899 Locomobile Stanhope Style I Navigation
Locomobile was started in 1899 by the Stanley Brothers, who produced photographic plates. This car was delivered by train to Mr. Taylor in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on January 24th, 1900. The car was eventually sold to a Mr. Upjohn.
This car has a folding top which is very rare on this model, and spindle seats. The car has a leather-covered deck lid with an exhaust pipe coming thru it. The first car had no exhaust pipe and later cars had a metal cover. The engine is a two-cylinder steam, 14-inch boiler. The cylinder is gasoline-fired, which had to heat the gas to a vapor to start, a 30 to 40 minute warm-up before you had steam. You could go 20 miles per tank of water.
It has a 5.5 horsepower rating, and the car weighs 850 lbs. Total production was 2050, and it is believed that only seven remain today. The selling price was $750.
