1940_Buick Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 HEY!!! That's ME! and my 1912 Maxwell Special (and my wife too).Quite a car. One of 12 known to exist. It was the most powerful car Maxwell had built up to that date. They swept the 1912 Glidden Tour with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place going to Maxwell Specials. It has a 36 hp T-head engine, 3 speed progressive shift transmission.I bought it from RM (the auction house) as a non-runner. We got it running and took it on the 2008 Brass in Bucks tour. Judging from the amount of sand I removed from the body, it had spent a lot of time in the desert. But that meant that the body was absolutely solid, with nary a dent, let alone rust. All the correct, original brass was in great condition too.This is a picture of it with it's brass all shined upBut, it did need a full restoration. The engine was noisy, the interior in shreds, an ancient repaint, etc. I traded it to a professional restorer for a finished 1911 EMF.It is now getting the restoration it deserves. Below is a picture of it, newly finished in its correct colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
