1915 Chalmers Model 32B
7-Seater Asking $37,000
Owned and saved from
destruction by the famous Barney Pollard.
Barney Pollard Sr. worked for
Chalmers, and restored the car in the 1940s. Barney
collected many cars and
stacked them on end in a warehouse, saving them from being crushed for badly
needed steel during WWII. This car is one of Barney’s favorite cars and one of those
stacked survivors!
Hugh Chalmers bought
"Thomas" of Buffalo, NY, in 1908. "Chalmers" was built
1908-1923. 250,000 were built, but less than 300 remain. In the late teens and
early 20's, Maxwell shared the plant with Chalmers. Walter Chrysler took over
the company, and in 1924, Chalmers became Chrysler.

The car came with an electric
starter and was restored in the ‘60s and the interior restored more recently
and is in great shape! New tires, step plates, a full set of side curtains, and

shut off pull valve, & an alternator for more power. And modern headlights
