Dwight Romberger Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Looks like a very complete Chandler!There is a flex line going to one of the front wheels. Did Chandler have juice brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Below the leather boot is a hard line to provide oil from the "One-Shot" chassis oiler. Chandler did not have juice brakes, but did offer vacuum boost brakes as an added option which this car should have though I could not find evidence of the unit or the vacuum line of the intake on this car. Rare option and was supposed to triple the force of the brake pedal. I have a restored one on our Chandler that is very patiently waiting to be put back into service.

Dwight Romberger Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Thanks 29 Chandler.My '30 Buick has a one shot oiler, but it doesn't extend to the front wheels. Cool idea.Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) It was a messy idea. Not popular with the showrooms. The device was way over used and made a mess. When used according to design it would really extend the life of the suspension. Edited October 16, 2011 by 29 Chandler (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Romberger Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I didn't think about the showrooms. Some of them were so fancy. What a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Can you imagine the meetings the salesmen must have had. "Now let's go over this again, don't let the customer push that plunger on the firewall!"Oh, not again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1929Chandler Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It sold for $7,600.00 That kind of sale makes the rest of them worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 OK, who got it? Introduce yourself. This is just the way we got into the hobby, got an email from the club asking if we wanted more information on the car we just bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_a Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Dear Tassie 1,Welcome to the AACA Forums and Congratulations on getting the 1929 Chandler. Nice to see photos of your Elcar, too. My Grandfather traded a Travel Air biplane for an Elcar about 1927 or 28, and had it until 1990. It was a 1926 cabriolet with a Lycoming 8.Great to hear from someone from Tasmania on the AACA Forums. It may be a first! I understand that there is a very well-organized antique car club there( VCCA-TAS, I believe). For two years, I've been trying to find more information on a 1926 Peerless in Tasmania --- last photographed at an international rallye circa 1993.----Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Welcome to the club Tassie. Your eBay Chandler is a real find. If I only had the room I would have been a bidder on it too. PLEASE, please document as much as you can on the car when it arrives. These cars are so rare and one that has sat as long as that car is such a treasure of information. I've got some information on these cars and will be happy to help where I can. Send me a private message when you get the car if you would like me to add your Chandler cars to the Chandler Registry.I am sure the Chandler Club would love you to write up a small story on your new find if you are so inclined :-)BTW in the third picture on the cowl in the background you have a Kingston Vacuum Tank for the fuel on a 1929 Chandler these are pretty rare and were used on Chandler cars for only the last year of 1929. Again I have more info on these I can provide. Edited November 12, 2011 by 29 Chandler (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Dear 29 Chandler & Tassie1,I was looking at a brochure for the Reynolds-Alberta Museum yesterday and saw a mention of a 1929 Chandler in their collection. The R-A-M is in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada and well worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks Jeff. I think I have that car in my registry. If not, I'll have to seek out some more info on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
