"The most fairly priced fine car".
Fredrick Chandler and a number of other executives left the Lozier Automobile company in 1913 to start the Chandler Motor car company, basing it in Cleveland. They focused on quality cars for the middle class and became quite successful.
By 1927 there was a line of 10 models and a total of 20,000 units were sold. Unfortunately the next year they were in trouble with overexpansion, banking on higher sales that never came. The factory was bought by Hupp and in 1929 the Chandler car discontinued.
Fredrick Chandler used the money from the sale to start up a automotive fastener company (Chandler Products) which exists today as a division of the Elgin Fastener Group.
