Maxim S-Model

The S-Model was a custom chassis line made by the Maxim Motor Company, from 1960, until 1987; a few years before the company went out of business in 1989. The S-Model was a cab-forward (as opposed to Maxim's other product line, the F-Model, which was a cab-over), and received a couple redesigns over the several decades in was in production. In the late 1970s, the model received a new nickname in the marketing world: the Yankee.
