I'd take either one ...
« on: Sunday 26 May 24 21:48 BST (UK) »
One of my ancestors bought a 1907 Maxwell Run-about and then replaced it with a 1909 Overland Roadster with double bucket seats.  If I could have either one, I'd think about owning a car again.

  Do you think they would cope with the highlands of Ecuador? They do look smart though.

They do look great. I remember my grandmother saying one of her earliest memories was sitting in a Hispano Suiza driving around London with her father. Must have been 1905/6
