Joehardin Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I got my first brass era car. It is an all original Maxwell AB. I need a rear tail light and a splitorf magneto to get it correct. From what I read the tail light is a maxwell #4 and the mag is a Splitdorf model H I posted on the Maxwell form also and put some good picts there. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.

Joehardin Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks every one I had wanted one of these for years and was surprised to see one come up in my area. I don,t know why but i just love unrestored things like this. I want to put it back to totally original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) You might want to first consider doing all of the maintenance checking & replacing fluids, brakes, etc... and clean up the car some. Make it safe and then start driving it as is, just clean. You will be surprised by the comments of persons when they see the car as is, but it is drivable and you can tour with it. You can always "restore" it later, but you can not recreate it as you found it. Start driving now and get to know your car inside and out and if you decide to restore it later it will be a lot easier. Meet us in Chickasha, Ok for the prewar swap meet. A bunch of us meet there every year. Most of us are Buick prewar guys, but you are welcome to meet the group. https://10times.com/international-pre-war-swap-meet Just my thoughts and experience.

motoringicons Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Wow. What an outstanding and great original car. Congratulations on the purchase. Regarding the tail light and magneto: items like this often show up at the "Pre War Only" swap meets such as Chickasha, Oklahoma and the HCCA's Bakersfield event. Both are coming up in the next two months. Even if you don't find the parts you need, you'll enjoy visiting with like-minded, brass era friends from all over the county. Bakersfield is definitely the better of the two events, but both are a lot of fun. If you haven't already, be sure to join the Horseless Carriage Club of America (www.hcca.org). You certainly found a fantastic treasure. Get it serviced and running. It will be a great car for 1&2 cylinder tours and other brass events. Enjoy!

Dodge1934 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I really appreciate seeing new finds like this .. It is a very nice unit. I agree with the comment to drive it cleaned up as is for a while as long as it is safe. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
