Eastgate Motors Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Does anyone know when C.G.V. first introduced shaft drive and on what models and/or Hp cars it would have been available on in 1906 and 1907? I have read that the shaft drive was introduced on the 14-15hp models, which I believe included the Town Car chassis, and that the higher Hp models retained the chain drive for a time. Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Some info here but not an answer to your specific question - Charron (CGV) - Graces Guide The Standard Catalog article about the American operation is not much help either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks NZcarnerd that was one of the first places I looked for info after you put me onto Grace’s Guide last time. I’m trying to determine if it was only the 15hp model that had shaft drive in 1906-07 or if it’s possible a 20hp C.G.V. could’ve had a shaft drive as well.
