First-Year Chrysler.
Scarce 1924 Chrysler Six owner's manual, "Instructions and Description," 4th ed., "Cars 17001 up," 6 x 9 1/4, 60 pp. + large folding lubrication chart tipped at rear, black on brown leatherette cover, black on cream text. Profusely illustrated. Carburetor revision sheet pasted at rear. On prefatory "License Data" page, the first owner has proudly pencilled "New Oct. 4, 1924, Car Serial No. 23158, Engine Serial No. 47392...," plus key number, and computations of bore and stroke. The 201 cu. in. motor was a formidable one at the time: with a high compression head, "the new Chryslers were only 5 m.p.h. slower than the Packard eight..."--Standard Catalog.... Cover soiling, occasional marginal fingerprints inside, else surprisingly clean - speaking well of the car's freedom from repair - and very good.
