Framed Vintage Advertising for the Chalmers Motor Car Company.
The image shows a vintage advertisement for the Chalmers Motor Car Company. The ad features a Chalmers Sedan and highlights the "Hot Spot and Ram's Horn" features of the vehicle. The ad is a print from a vintage magazine, likely from around 1920.
The "Hot Spot" and "Ram's Horn" refer to a specific device used to pre-heat the gasoline entering the carburetor and the shape of the intake manifold, which was introduced by Chalmers around 1918. The Chalmers Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Detroit, Michigan, and was known for producing high-end vehicles in the early 20th century. The company's production ended in the early 1920s after it merged with the Maxwell Automobile Company, which was later absorbed by Chrysler.
