1915 Lozier Type 82
- Engine
- Six-cylinder, high-performance configuration
A 1915 Lozier Type 82 six-cylinder tourer, believed to be the sole surviving example retaining its original body, chassis, engine, and nearly all factory hardware. Built during the final chapter of a storied American marque once known for record-breaking endurance and road-race victories, this car was acquired in 1951 by prominent Detroit collector Barney Pollard and remained in his family's hands for roughly four decades. Restored around 2004, it earned an AACA National First award in 2003 and subsequently appeared at Amelia Island before entering long-term museum display in Plattsburgh, New York, the city where Lozier was founded.
