I have a running; almost driving, 1917 maxwell touring car. It is titled as 1916 but hasthe gas gauge to the left of steering wheel.
Had tried to contact you before this as i was planning to letter the car as a replica of the one that made the trip. I have now accumulated some maxwell knowledge and also a few spare parts such as magneto, clutch, c arburetor. would be happy to help you with your trip. Just hope you are ok with mine being more or less a clone of yours. I will also try to help promote your trip and maybe do a small sponsorship. Very cool thing to do.
I am located on route 40 in springfield Ohio.
email me back if you can. [email protected]
