1908 Lozier Type I

The Lozier Company was one of the early pioneers of American automobiles. They produced the grandest cars with a price tag to match.

The Lozier Type I was available as a touring car, a limousine, and as a runabout with a list price of $6,200. For 1908, Lozier added a six-cylinder motor and adopted sliding rods in the gear case. These updates greatly reduced the occurrence of dripping oil. The adoption of a shaft drive and the extensive use of ball bearings were among the more important changes for the Lozier cars in 1908.

The six-cylinder engine boasted splash and force-fed lubrication, an enclosed valve train, dual ignition, a large crankshaft, and massive cylinder jugs finished in baked enamel. The T-head straight-six 740 cubic-inch engine drives through a four-speed selective gearbox. Drum brakes on the rear wheels are augmented by a transmission brake.
