A highly esteemed independent make of American car, the Chandler reached its greatest production in 1920, with an output of approximately 20.000 Chandler cars. Design was generally conventional, but the Chandler make was noted for its Traffic Transmission, a constant-mesh gear-change introduced in 1924, and for all-round lubcrication effected by the pull of a lever, adopted two years later. Engines were sixes of Chandler’s own make, joined in 1928 by two Chandler eights. Sales tapered off towards the end of the 1920s, and the Chandler company was absorbed by Hupmobile in 1929. Although at least one Chandler prototype of the 1930s line was built, the Chandler name ended with the 1929 models. A cheaper line was the Cleveland six, made from 1919 to 1925.
