Market commentary

Essentially a Maxwell and not offering many of the advanced technical features which distinguished Chryslers, including four wheel hydraulic brakes, the Chrysler Four was a worthy competitor to Chevrolet and the Model T. It sold like hotcakes on a cold morning but is rarely seen today, particularly as an example so well preserved, so this result will have to stand as something of a market benchmark.
