Yes it's sure a Locomobile. Just found it myself, but as you asked first would not answer yet:)

LOCKED for BattlePorQ, thanks to the politeness of driggy.dragos.

The body of this Locomobile is not by Kimball.

This is the car. But still no idea about coachbuilder. Designed by Locomobile...
Probably it's Derham who has built another Locomobiles for Wanamaker family.

Just to make clear - we need to find a coachbuilder that was comissioned by Locomobile Custom Department to build this exact body with J. Franklin deCausse design for Mr.  John Wanamaker Jr.?

That pretty much sums it up.  They built a fair number of Locomobiles.
