Buying Time: 1925
Introducing -- the Maxwell "Sisyphus Six"
San Francisco circa 1925. "Advertisement for the 'Good Maxwell,' built by Chrysler engineers." 5x7 glass negative by Christopher Helin. View full size.
$25 cash prize
The 13th reason for buying a good Maxwell is that it's better than buying a bad Maxwell.
Reason # 13
"Next year, the brand will be retired and you'll own an orphan car."
And now I shall try to imagine this Maxwell happy.
The Thirteenth Reason
If it was good enough for Jack Benny, it's good enough for you!
To hear what his Maxwell sounded like, as interpreted by the great Mel Blanc, visit here:

Stuck?
Problem with a lot of these old car photos is you can't tell if they are moving or not. This one might just be stuck and waiting for a tow.
I actually think that most if not all of them are still, not moving, because of the slow film speed.
[Photographic emulsions of the time were perfectly capable of stopping action, and long had been. This, however, is a posed promotional photo. -tterrace]
Yet another excellent title by Dave
