In 1908, the Maxwell was the 3rd best-selling car, behind Buick and Ford. This car sold new for $825.00, with the top and Roll-down Storm-front another $70.00.
The car does not have an oil pump, water pump or fuel pump, it does not have a generator or starter and has no clutch.
The 1908 Maxwell was one of the first cars to have an all-metal body.
The car runs about 35 miles per hour - has a 1-quart oil tank and an 8-gallon gas tank, which will get about 100 miles.
The restoration project took about 15 years using nights and weekends. The current owner did most of the work, which included a lot of research to determine the correctness of the car.
