Chandler car #2

Here's a picture of the second 'production' 1913 Chandler Model 14 car from Motor Age in 1927. A few interesting notes about the car at this time: It's been modernized a bit with the addition of a bumper, deletion of the cowl lights and exterior door handles, and a new one-man top with Chandler 'bow tie' rear window.

"Mileage over 285,000 and still going strong."

Usually I can find lots of clippings in period but not very much on the 1913 Chandler.

@alsancle this ad is from 1915. The 1913-1914 price was $1785

Here’s another early Chandler. Listed as a a 1912 but that can’t be right. The company wasn’t incorporated until 1913, correct?

@Hupp31The 1913 Chandler Model 14 with Fredrick C. Chandler at the wheel with Samuel Regar and Charles A Emise in the rear seat.

I have this same photo on the Chandler history page 😀

@Chandler-Six Thanks for the ID, I must have missed the photo there. I notice that car has the coach style door handles but the Colonel’s car has plain handles. Different model or an option?

@Hupp31 The Colonel's car (car #4) has more modern door handles installed in the picture I posted. Either the originals wore out or they were looking to update the look f the car.
