Beautiful 1918 Maxwell No w On Exhibition Without altering the world champion motor, the famous perfected clutch and transmission or the mighty axles, the Maxwell builders have produced a new wonder car, far superior in construction and in appear ance to anything yet turned out by the Maxwell factories we have this new and beautiful car oome and see it. The car is larger and roomier, for one thing ? the ? heel base has been increased six inches. it is also a stronger and more rigid machine for the road. The frame is now six Inches, instead of three inches deep. And the body rests directly on this powerful frame, instead of on brackets extending from the sides, as n the past. Do you know what that means? It means this: The firmness with which the wheels grip the road and the steadiness of the car at high speed give you a sense of security such as you have been able to enjoy before only in cars shackled with a battery of "shock ab sorbers. This New Car is 50 Pounds Lighter There's a marvel of engineering for you, friends? The car is made bigger and stronger and yet actually lighter. This means greater ease and comfort 011 the road. More than that it means greater economy. # And the Maxwell before was the most economical 5-passensJer car in (he world. Compensating underfilling rear springs? the last word in spring suspension mark this wonder ful Maxwell of 1918. They mean greater comfort- greater economy, by lessening wear and tear on the car. Maxwell Now Has the Style of the Costliest Cars The new Maxwell is a car of great beauty. It has a sloped windshield and rakish lines never before produced in any car costing less than $1200. Its good looks now equal its proved mechanical efficiency. The new upholster^ is richer and gives a new comfort. Inside and out the new 1918 Maxwell is a perfected car. We're proud to sell it. You'll be proud to own one. Touring Car $745; Roadster $745; Coupe $1095; Berline $1095; Sedan $1095 All prices f. o. b. Detroit B. I. TART, Four Oaks, N. C.
