were just getting started, MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to
present this rarely seen 1922 Maxwell 25 Touring Sedan. Maxwells
are rarely seen today and virtually unknown by the general motoring
public. It comes from a prominent Indiana collector who has
cherished this Maxwell for the past 36 years, since 1982! The
mileage on the title shows 13,000, today it shows 13,518. This
example has had two previous owners and was refinished in late
2003. The car?s blue over black paint and trim are in overall
excellent condition. Car features a split-folding windshield,
rebuilt fenders and newer running boards. The color combination
lends both elegance and understatement to the vehicle. The bodywork
is straight and solid while the engine bay is very tidy. Note that
there is only a driver?s side windshield wiper, a common practice
at that time. This Maxwell wears Olympic balloon tires, size 31x4
at all four corners. Each tire is wrapped around a black, steel,
disc wheel with chrome trim rings. Out back is another Olympic tire
for the spare. The tires and wheels are in very good order. Under
the hood is a rebuilt 186 CID inline four-cylinder motor with an
Eagle updraft carburetor. Backing that engine is a three-speed
manual transmission and a 4.56:1 differential. The black interior
is immaculate. The new, cut pleated leather seats look fantastic.
The car?s floor looks the same and comes with mats. There is a
four-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel that lends just the right
amount of charm to the interior and the AMP gauge is inoperable.
The black, metal instrument panel is in very good order while the
inner door liners are in satisfactory condition. The vinyl top is
also newer complete with newly refinished side curtains for all for
corners! This Maxwell was made during a turbulent time for the
company. In 1920, during an economic recession that followed World
War I, Maxwell had 17,000 unsold cars at one point. Two years
later, it attempted a merger with Chalmers Motors that went poorly
for both companies and Maxwell officials made poor company
decisions that resulted in becoming overextended on financing.
These actions, along with poor quality vehicles, led to the arrival
of Walter P. Chrysler in 1923, who tried to work his magic on
Maxwell. To illustrate his good intentions, he announced that all
problematic Maxwells sold would be repaired for free by the
company. By 1925, Maxwell was phased out of production and Chrysler
introduced the car company that bore his name. Maxwell?s assets
were rolled into Chrysler, with Maxwell designs and parts going
toward a four-cylinder Chrysler in 1926 and a new marque for 1928 ?
Plymouth. Documentation includes original Instructions book, copies
of a letter dated May 30, 1957 from when a prior owner tried to
re-register the car plus miscellaneous photos and information. VIN:
372795 This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis,
