This car is not Maxwell. Maxwell name was last used in 1923 and this car is a 1929-1930 |

If you look to the center of the radiator, the emblem on the headlamp bar suggests a Cadillac of LaSalle. |

Last Maxwell cars from 1924 looked like this one:![[Image: maxwellkk4.9436.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is47/maxwellkk4.9436.jpg) This is straight from Wikipedia: "...Walter P. Chrysler arranged to take a controlling interest in Maxwell. Maxwell Motors was re-incorporated in West Virginia with Walter Chrysler as the chairman. In 1925 Walter Chrysler formed the Chrysler Motors Corporation. That same year the Maxwell line was phased out and the Maxwell company assets absorbed by Chrysler. Several early models of Chrysler cars were built largely on the design of earlier Maxwells. The Maxwell is perhaps most famous as the vehicle driven by comedian Jack Benny on his radio and television programs, decades after the Maxwell ceased production. It was a running joke on the programs that Benny was a miser driving an outdated, noisy, barely-functioning jalopy. On Benny's radio program voice artist Mel Blanc portrayed Benny's Maxwell sputtering, chugging, and gasping with various comic vocal sound effects. (Contrary to the portrayal on Benny's show, Maxwells were rated as fairly good automobiles in their time.) Benny appears onscreen driving a Maxwell in the film It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World." I'm a bit confused now. Maybe Pilou can help us. I still think it's not a Maxwell. |

Yes, that's not a Maxwell, it's a car from several years after 1924 The hood louvers and center emblem are very much like a Cadillac or LaSalle from 1930-31. |

May be a 1929 plymouth Link to "local.aaca.org" The first 4 cylinder chryslers were based on the Maxwell designs that chrysler bought. They became plymouth in 1928. |

It is too big to be Plymouth. Note it has five hood doors - I think 1932 LaSalle. |

Buick? |

Agreed--those look like '30-'32 Cadillac louvers. |

The single bar front bumper, the hood that appears to have vent "doors" instead of louvers both point the year 1931. The round badge between the headlights points to Cadillac and not LaSalle. The dip behind the door, accommodating the folded top, suggests a convertible coupe rtaher than a roadster. My educated guess, therefore, is a 1931 Cadillac Fleetwood style 4535 convertible coupe. www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_ima/318cvcp.jpg www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_ima/318cvcpb.jpg |

Fleetwood is not a Cadillac model in that era. It is either a V8 (Series 355-A) or a V12 (Series 370-A). |
