1927 Locomobile Model 90 Sportif
Connecticut manufacturer Locomobile is best known for their artfully engineered, solidly constructed Model 48, which remained in production for a remarkable 18 years. At the end of the company’s life, however, it introduced a new top-of-the-line model, the 90, boasting a modern L-head monobloc six-cylinder engine on a 138-inch-wheelbase platform only slightly smaller than the 48. It was a grand, imposing machine, one of the inspirations of Locomobile’s new and final owner, William C. Durant—the founder of General Motors.
