29 Chandler

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.

That sure would be a great car for documenting originality! Wish I had the room and spare cash. There are a couple of Chandler's for sale including this one and a 1917 7-passenger model I would love to have. Come on Roger up the bid

Peter you beat me to it! Bravo to our editors. I love the format and printing quality. As a past editor I really appreciate how much work went into this issue. Great job guys!!!! It sounds like you got quite a response to the first issue which just shows what an impact you are making. People actually read the thing. An editor can not ask for more. And because I did read your current issue, I ask that you continue to post our ad for the Chandler 1k badges. We still have some left and all the proceeds go to the club.

Great pictures Paul. There aren't very many of the early Chandler cars left. Probably only a handful of these early cars left.

How long till you are done with one of yours ? :-) I'll keep my eyes open for him.

Anyone seen or have one of these?? Issued to Chandler owners in the 1920's that had either driven their car or multiple Chandler cars 1k miles. There was also a brochure that listed many of the members of this special club. I sure would love to learn more about this badge and promotion from Chandler. For those interested I have also had a few reproductions made of this badge. Contact me if interested. All proceeds go directly to the Chandler-Cleveland Club. $40 each plus shipping

And here is a picture of a dash from a 1929 model 65 Deluxe sedan, notice the woodgrain dash, rather than the plain painted dash like mine.

Bob the 1928 dash is quite different. The cluster is oval rather than the style of 1929. If you look closely on your bezel, that medallion at the bottom should resemble the grill of a 1929 Chandler. Yours is upside down. Mine has never been out of the dash. Do you have the rest of the car or just this key part? Happy Holidays!

What you are looking at is the difference between the model 65 and 75 (and probably 85), all from 1929. I am attaching two pictures for comparison. The first is my model 65 sedan and the second is from a friend's model 75 coupe.

Thanks for posting BlackStar I have sent you an email.

Thanks Dan. That has to be about the best Chandler ever built. Sure wish I was in a position to add it to our collection. Thanks for sharing the information with us.

Sorry to hear that, but it is understandable considering the state of the club these days! I wish I would have been able to attend this one. It just did not work out in our schedule. Thank you for all the hard work that went into putting this together. Even though there is no event I am sure there was quite a bit of work to plan and schedule everything. Thank You!

Thanks for the tip Roger. We sure had fun seeing what we are are missing from our cars. Even the girls had a good time.

I should add that items included in the book will be properly identified as to where they were sourced from and the who volunteered the items.

If you are a fan of Chandler Motors then you will be pleased to learn that there will soon be a genuine book covering the history of the Chandler-Cleveland Motor corporation. Fellow Chandler-Cleveland Car Club member and author (The Jordan Automobile: A History) James Lackey has agreed to take on the responsibility of writing an accurate history of this Ohio based car company. Jim has already been given access a few great Chandler memorabilia collections to help him tell the story. But we know there are more items out there! If you have something rare and unusual that could be included in the book whether just as a reference or to be included as with a picture please let us know. Items Jim is looking for in particular are copies of Chandler Bulletins and other unique items that help tell the history. If you have anything you wish to share for this project please let me know. We are looking to acquire copies only. If you have had a chance to read Jim's book on the Jordan automobile you know what a great honor it is that he has agreed to write his next book on the Chandler-Cleveland cars. So let's get together and dig through our collections and help Jim put together the most complete collection of pictures and information ever collected and this great car company and the people who founded it. Email or PM me anything you have to offer and I will consolidate it and forward it all on to Jim. Thanks for your help!

I am still here. No progress on our Chandler either. And I too am waiting to see a new newsletter. I heard from another member this week that he just got his first one since I retired. Anxious to read my copy. Mena sounds like a great find. Please keep us posted. We love to see pictures. Chris

How was it? It would have been a long drive for us

Thanks Roger! It was sure a rewarding experience. I just hope someone picks up the responsibility soon. I can't wait to get my first newsletter that I have not read already in over 5 years.

I think Roger Anderson has the list of paint choices available during those years. good luck!

What Kingston model # are you looking for?

Looks great Roger! The engine and frame have turned out very nice. Let us know when you get is started.

Alright I do have a picture, but the Cranbrook is in the background. It is teal car behind the red Vagabond. I really thought I had a picture of it. It was a really nice car and the first one I think I have seen.

There was a Cranbrook at the Western Fall Meet in San Diego today. Once I down load my pictures I'll post a picture of it. It may show who the owner is.

Yes I believe it is very close, but maybe lighter.

The engie color is a very light green. I had some paint matched from my 1929. They did an ok job of it. Pretty hard to match 80 year old dirty paint fragments. I could look up the code for you. Maybe someone else has a paint that is a better match to the original.
