One of only 36 Chalmers Detroit cars thought to have survived and possibly unique as a Roadster, this car was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. J. Robert Roark of Harpswell, Maine from Walter O. Macllivain of Connecticut where it was the subject of a 40 year restoration / fabrication.Originally a touring saloon the roadster body was faithfully reproduced by Mr. Macllivain using Chalmers and Pierce Arrow components.
The late Mr. Roark was a board member of the Horseless Carriage Club of America and owned the car for over 30 years. It is well known on Northeastern and national tours having been campaigned by Mr. Roark during his life time and later by his wife MaryAnn after his demise.
The car is highly original with sympathetic improvements ot fuel, ignition and brake operating systems and has been the subject of continuous on-going maintenance.
The car runs very well, and is ready to tour and presents a desirable addition to any serious collector or Brass-Era tourer.
