The lap of luxury in 1914!

Excellent interior!

The lever on the center of the dashboard is the starter control. It’s actually a blade style switch . When you move the lever to the right, the engine turns over and starts! The leather on the dash looks like the original! The chain near the steering column is connected to the engine whistle on cylinder # 6 !

Here’s the shift mechanism – with all 4 speeds and reverse cast right in!

The top is nicely and recently trimmed. It’s a 5 bow top, as befits one of the biggest cars of the brass era!

Here’s the intake side. Intake on the left side, exhaust on the right!
.
Oil cans with brackets for the various lubrication points.
.
The Stewart Vacuum tank is newer than this car, originally the gas tank would have been pressurized by a hand pump for fuel pressure. So far we haven’t gotten the vacuum tank to work, so the car is running using the vacuum tank as a gravity feed. That would have to be fixed and probably the gas tank cleaned out before using the car for touring.
.
Nice spotlight / Mirror combination, although it’s not hooked up electrically.
.
Original Warner Speedometer and oil pressure gauge
.
Fuel Tank with gauge

Nice Chalmers emblem

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
