From the beginning an adherent to six-cylinder power, the Chandler Motor Car Company was organized in Cleveland, Ohio in 1913. Its founder, Frederic C. Chandler, had worked for Lozier and brought with him four other Lozier employees. The production of this car was not aimed towards performance, it was successful at many long distance races and even a win in 1925 at Pike Peak. In 1924 the company introduced a “constantmesh” traffic transmission and was advertised as “impossible to clash gears or to fail in any attempt to change speeds.” Successful from the start, the Chandler became, according to historian Beverly Rae Kimes, “among the most highly-regarded medium-priced automobiles in America.”

This handsome 1924 Chandler Touring Sedan is fitted with the “Pikes Peak Motor,” a smooth inline six-cylinder mated to a three-speed manual transmission. The seller of this sedan believes the blue paint on the car to be original and sports a refinished gray interior.
