Description Becrafts' Maxwells 2420 Kiesel Ave. Ogden, Utah. Anyone who owned a Maxwell in the early 1900's had it made. You just turned the engine by means of that little crank (arm buster) in front until it started; pushed the rubber bulb that activated the air horn on the left side of the car and away you went. In fact, if you owned one of these cars today, you would have it made. Used in U.H.Q. Vol. 42-3 (1974). Four Maxwell car models. Gift of M.J. Burson.
