1912 Maxwell

Here is the first of the many motorcars that will be featured on this site. This neat little roadster was quite popular in it’s time. This model is fully equipped, loaded with options, including a roof and even a windshield. Notice the Prest-O-Lite tank on the running board which powered the headlights.
