    “The Locomobile Company of America was a pioneering American automobile  manufacturer founded in 1899, and known for its dedication to precision before  the assembly-line era. It was one of the earliest car manufacturers in the  advent of the automobile age. For the first two years after its founding, the  company was located in Watertown, Massachusetts. Production was transferred to  Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1900, where it remained until the company's demise  in 1929. The company manufactured affordable, small steam cars until 1903, when  production switched entirely to internal combustion-powered luxury automobiles.  Locomobile was taken over in 1922 by Durant Motors and eventually went out of  business in 1929. All cars ever produced by the original company were always  sold under the brand name Locomobile.” (Wikipedia)
    Luxury automobiles from the Locomobile Company (name is a combination of  “Locomotive” and “Automobile). This information book and catalogue begins with  details on the automobile’s manufacture, the construction materials, the motor,  steering mechanism, driving mechanism, transmission, chassis, and more. The  second half of the book consists of various models with price and details, the  last few pages are made up of various photo montages of owners with their  vehicles on the road.
