The Locomobile Society of America was established as a non-profit organization in March, 1989 by a group of serious automobile enthusiasts who appreciate and value the Locomobile as one of the finest motor cars built in the last century. The founding board members are Norman Buckhart, Phil Hill, Douglas and William Magee, Jack Passey, Andrew Riker III, and the late Henry Austin Clark.

The object of the Society is to establish and maintain a complete registry of the surviving cars, to disseminate an accurate history of the Locomobile as is possible, and provide technical and historical information as may be obtainable to owners of Locomobile motor cars, and to those who are in need of information. The Society is not a club and there are no dues. Membership simply entails registering of a Locomobile with the Society by the owner of the vehicle.

All the Locomobile and Mobile steam cars built between 1899 and 1904, although built by Locomobile in the Stanley factory in Watertown, Massachusetts or the Mobile in Tarrytown, New York, were all but in name the car designed and patented by the Stanley brothers. Because of this the Society does not track any of the steam cars. Instead this roster is maintained by the Stanley Museum in Kingfield, Massachusetts. All those interested in the Locomobile and Mobile steam car register should contact the museum at www.stanleymuseum.org. Or email “maine@stanleymuseum.org” attn: Bob Brown or Jim Merrick.
