586.8 Miles Through the Heart of Chicago in 24 Hours A Typical Chalmers Performance » .. - -

At 12 noon, Monday, March 26, a stock Chalmers seven-passenger touring car with first and second gears removed, was started north on Michigan Boulevard through Chicago traffic. At noon Tuesday, March 27, the Chalmers was stopped at the starting point. It had gone 586.8 miles through Chicago’s densest traffic. The motor had never been stopped. Nothing but high gear was used. To prove conclusively Chalmers flexibility on high gear, the low and intermediate gears were removed from the transmission. The car was a standard Chalmers seven-passenger touring model, complete with standard body, top and full equipment. The same model you can buy today.

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that the Chalmers seven-passenger car above mentioned was a fully equipped stock car. It was driven for 24 hours through Chicago traffic. Only high gear was used. The motor was never stopped during the run. The mileage.obtained was 586.8 milfta. The gasoline consumption was an average of slightly over 14 miles per gallon. Chairman Content Board.
