Maxwell-Briscoe Motor Company
Tarrytown, NY
Maxwell was a significant manufacture of automobiles in America in the early 20th-century. In 1910 Maxwell ranked third in U.S. sales behind Ford and Buick.
The Maxwell cars earned a solid reputation through solid performances in many early reliability tours. In 1909 a Maxwell was driven from New York City to San Francisco, an almost unheard of event prior to that time.
The Maxwell-Briscoe survived until 1924 when Walter P. Chrysler merged it with his new Chrysler Corporation.
