1908 NC

[gossjh]

Just read the post on the factory document circa 1906. Did not want to steal that post, so does anyone have any similar info, especially phot of 1908 model NC. I have what may be the only one left. The rear fenders extend forward unlike the 1908 brochure. Please share if anyone has a factory photo.

Hey Joe

 

Your NC is certainly a nice car.

 

You are probably aware that Maxwell made a new model each model year and the NC is the 1908 version of the 1906 N featured in the "early factory invoice" post by Howard Dennis.

 

I don't have a factory photo, but there is a line drawing in the publication "Maxwell-Briscoe, the cars, the company" by James Zordich. The original publication was reprinted in 2006 in commemoration of the Maxwell centenary. As it is in the public domain I have reproduced it here.

 

Like our LD, there appears to have been short running board and long running board versions. I have seen both in the LD model. I have included a photo of our LD9024. Your photo shows the short running board and while the Zordich drawing shows long running board version.

 

We enjoy our car. It is a fun car.
