fy you believe them all, they all make supercars.
In your experience, that theory doesn't hold.
Maxwell is different
We newrc claim anything we cannot prove.

That still remains a worlds record the worlds record of reliability.
That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask o desire ofa motor
Among other things it still stands the worlds long distance speed record.
Just consider "A days and nights without a stop, at IN average speed of rs
And that, not by a $4,000 al, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $685..

Then three days later-a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12cyinder
record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a

So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors
Ready to defend it agant alc corners too, at any time a stock Maxwell against
any stock or special chassis.
Economy also a matter of official record.
Others may claim Maxwell proves
Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States OF the san day
averaged 24 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners thousands of them

No. could they choose their W road or weather condihons-an kinds were
encountered N the various sections of the country.
Good roads and bad level country and mountainous regions heat and cold
sunshine and ain asphalt and mud.
And the average was 294 miles per gallon!
There's economy for you. And under actualaverage driving conditons-not
laboratory test.
But that isn't all.
The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in it's showing of speed and reMa-
bMty and economy all in the sam I'm.
In that "A daysand nights Nonstop run, though 40 thought was given to
either speed or economy, it still renainsa fact O official record that the Maxwell
averaged % miles per gallon and rs miles per hour.
Now you know that speed costs and that economy tets are usually made at
sow-speed closed throttle, hin-mixture conditions
You know too that you al obtain economy Of fuel by building and adjusting
for tina. m condition.
Speed you car get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that
But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with the wonderful
reliability shown in that a. DAYS Nonstop rn-that a must be Maxwell.
