Market commentary

Christies sold a similar 1909 Chalmers Detroit 30hp here in 2007 for $38,500 and the Hershey Auction sold a 1910 in 2002 for $36,720. There is no reason not to think that less than double in eight or thirteen years is anything more than recognition of the quality, style and performance of these excellent Brass era automobiles.
