description

In fact, the Cleveland automobiles were essentially the same as the Chandler automobiles, but with shorter wheelbases. The vehicles were powered by a side-controlled inline six-cylinder engine with 45 bhp (33 kW). In the last year of production, 1926, a model with a 60 bhp (44 kW) engine was added. The following year, a cheaper Chandler model replaced the Cleveland brand.
