It is estimated that in about ten years Chadwick built no more than 300 cars, of which only two survive today. Their creator, however, Lee Chadwick, is held in the highest esteem for his application, ability and perfection in all he produced.

Lee Sherman Chadwick, an engineering student at Purdue University, invented a mechanism for a washing-machine manufacturer when he was only 24. He ended his career as director of the Perfection Stove Company, specializing in the production of cooking stoves. As one American historian has put it very aptly, his career began in the washroom and ended in the kitchen. Of the various models he made, the most famous was the Six Model 19, which was produced in 1910, and which, for a supplementary &376, could include a supercharger. There was no need for a supercharger, however, as even without one the Chadwick Six could exceed 96 mph, developing 70-75 bhp at 1,100 revs. An essential feature of the engine (three-block, 6 cylinders, with inlet valves in the head, and exhaust valves at the sides), was the cooling system, which consisted of a copper cover around each group of two cylinders, with water circulating inside it.
