01
Artifact Overview
Founded in 1904, the Maxwell-Briscoe Motor Company of Tarrytown, New York, produced solid, low-priced automobiles. Two-cylinder cars like this 1911 Model AB dominated the company's early production, though four- and, briefly, six-cylinder models were also offered. Maxwell consistently ranked among the top ten sellers in the United States. Reorganized in 1913, Maxwell was absorbed by Chrysler Corporation in 1924.
