One of the few remaining vintage convertible cars in the world, this 73-year-old 1911 Maxwell, is one of the major attractions in the antique ear collection at Silver Springs, Florida. The first Maxwell appeared in 1904 as a flat-twin cylinder runabout. The make’s early years were marked by distinguished performances in the Glidden Tours, with victories in 1911 and 1912. Later makes had four cylinders, although twins were still being made as late as 1912. The Maxwells were made by the MaxwellBriscoe Motor Corporation in the United States.
