1909 Maxwell Model-LD Runabout

Was trying to find information on my Grandfather's car. a Maxwell Model LD runabout, and came across your website. The car and everyone in the picture (my grandfather, Dr. Raymond Spence, and uncle, Willard Spence) are long gone. Evidently this model was called a Doctors Maxwell for physicians? According to notes on the back of the picture, it was a 14 hp with 84 inch wheelbase. 2 cylinders, built in New Castle, Indiana and cost $825 new!

1909 Maxwell Model-LD  Runabout

These were available in two body types, the one that her grandfather had (above) and one like ours that has the small toolbox and mother-in-law on the back. I took the attached picture on the 1999 Grand Indiana Auto Tour and the car is sitting next to the Maxwell/Chrysler factory in New Castle, IN where it was built. We are getting ready to take the car up to Michigan early next month to drive it on the Lansing to Dearborn old car run. Thanks for all your great work on an interesting web site!
