We have not deviated from our fixed one-
chassia-model policy.
But we have refined and developed the
Maxwell.
The new compensating under-slung rear
springs mean comfort for you and preservation
of your car.
This is the type of spring used in the newest
models of many of the highest priced cars.
The wheel base is six inches longer the
frame has been strengthened the windshield
sloped the body lines made more graceful
and the body made roomier.
But the Maxwell price stands at a figure
which still makes it "the world's greatest
motor car value."
