RARE 1923
CHANDLER-CLEVELAND AUTOMOBILE
This car has been
lovingly cared for and has not seen snow or rain since the
restoration. It has been kept in a heated garage and runs
perfectly. It comes with an additional motor and drive train
and you would be the third owner of this true rare classic.
The original owner left it to his son when he passed away in
2005, and it was sold to a member of the local
Chandler-Cleveland Club who had it restored. You would be
the third owner of this American classic. We would like to
see it go to a true collector who could appreciate this
unique example of classic automotive history. It was
featured in the April Hemmings Motor News edition in their
article about Chandlers. This is a rare opportunity to own
an amazing American iconic automobile classic.

There were over 1800 automobile manufacturers in the United States
from 1896 to 1930. Past that point very few survived and the
Chandler-Cleveland was one of those very special car
companies. Formed in 1913 by Frederick C. Chandler in
Cleveland, Ohio the Chandler Motor Company was determined to
produce well designed good looking cars for the average
middle class working American family. Chandler set out to
achieve this by building his own engines, body and chassis.
They maintained a low overhead and by 1920 had six medium
priced models ranging from $2095 to $3585.
Some of the innovative features of the Chandlers produced from 1913
to 1929 included POWER BRAKES, ONE SHOT LUBRICATION and
SYNCHROMESH TRANSMISSION. Other features were electric
starting motor, enclosed silent driving chains, worm-bevel
rear axle, Mercedes type Mayo radiator, and clean sleek
running boards.
The Cleveland Automobile line was organized by Chandler to produce
an even lower cost car and by 1913 several models were
available for about $1800. The price was reduced to $1300.
By 1916 and the Chandler-Cleveland was the least expensive
car on the Market. By 1921 sales and profits were in decline
and Frederick C. Chandler decided to close the Cleveland
line in 1926 and consolidate the Chandler Motor Company to
reduce cost, but he kept many of the Cleveland
specifications for the standard Chandler car models to
follow.
Unfortunately by 1929 the company had fallen on hard times with a
high amount of debt and was acquired by the Chandler’s main
competition the HUPP MOTOR WORKS. HUPP needed not only to
remove the Chandler as a competitor by could use the
manufacturing facilities that had just been built by
Chandler for their expansion.
