Bruno Costers’ 1937 P4 Chrysler Kew<br />
was featured on the rear cover of<br />
BULLETIN <strong>15</strong>0, the January-<br />
February, 1985, issue.<br />
Bruno Coster’s 1937 P4 Chrysler Kew saloon was<br />
assembled at the Kew Works located in Surrey,<br />
England. Inheriting the ties Kew had with Chalmers-<br />
Massachusetts, which was later called United American<br />
production. Knocked-down vehicles were shipped to the<br />
United Kingdom and there assembled with right-hand-drive<br />
The motorcycle,<br />
The motorcycle, a 1922 Saroléa -- one-cylinder 550 cc. four-stroke -- is a<br />
Belgian make. Bruno has owned two Saroléa and one Peugeot motorcycles.<br />
-29-<br />
components added. Likely, the cars originated from<br />
the Windsor plant in Canada, as the U. K. had lower<br />
tariffs charged on goods manufactured in a fellow<br />
Commonwealth country. Even though Belgium . is a<br />
left-hand-drive country, some right-hand-drive cars<br />
were sold there. The Kew P4 was brought to<br />
Belgium by a friend of Bruno’s who sold it to him in<br />
1977.<br />
He has enjoyed the car for the past 33 years, taking<br />
it on many tours with his friend’s own 1937 P4, a<br />
Tüscher-bodied convertible that has now become the<br />
sedan’s stablemate. -- LDK
