Artifact Overview
The Maxwell-Briscoe Company manufactured the Maxwell in 1904. After the break-up of the failed United States Motor Company combination in 1913, the reorganized Maxwell Motor Company continued to produce the vehicle. Walter P. Chrysler took controlling interest of the overextended company in 1921. In 1925, the newly formed Chrysler Corporation absorbed Maxwell's assets and phased out the name.
