[edit]The Adirondack Museum hosted a talk described as
- "Lozier, An Automotive Legend Hidden in the Adirondacks" by Anthony Vaccaro at the Adirondack Museum, Blue Mountain Lake, NY.
- A talk on the rapid rise and fall of a great bike, boat and automotive company that beat the best in the world on the lake, on the streets, and on the track.
It would appear that our article is lacking the "on the lake" part. Anyone have any info on this?

The lake part - the Lozier Motor Company first made marine engines. To sell the engines they also built launches from 12' to 60' long. The boats were actually designed and built by Mathews under the Lozier name. The factory was in Plattsburgh, New York - on Lake Champlain. Some boats and engines still exist today. One boat and multiple outboard engines are in the collection at Mystic Seaport.--Ddlozier (talk) 06:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
There is amention near the end of the artile that Lozier tried to enter the mid-range market around the early to mid teens but was competing with Oldsmobile runabout. By 1908 Oldmobile dropped the runabout and low end models and was making very large luxury cars for GM. (See Oldmobile Limited ca 1910 for reference).--69.242.52.169 (talk) 07:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
