Ertl Maxwell 1917 Touring Car Texaco Bank Chrysler 1:25 Scale
Texaco's relationship with motorsports began now more than 97 years ago with this 1917 Maxwell Touring Car, fueled with and protected by Texaco products. P.G. Scull and C.W. Tuthill raced this vehicle from Newark,  NJ. to Los Angeles, Ca. Setting a National Record, the team completed its transcontinental journey in only 10 days and 16 hours. Ertl produced this for Texaco in 1997 and is the collector series 14. Opening bottom with key can retrieve coins saved.  Free rolling of wheels. Its a fine looking truck that one would be proud to display.   Stock # H500
Hey cheapskate many people still remember the Maxwell only as a punch line to an old Jack Benny joke. His mother was still driving her Maxwell an old car she was too cheap to sell. It must have been a pretty decent and sturdy car, since Jack Benny was making those jokes into the 1960s. Walter P. Chrysler bought the company that made it in 1920; and then used the four-cylinder engine found in Maxwell's  low-end models in his beloved Plymouth's  (now gone). Moreover, the car advertised it as “Perfectly simple and simply perfect” broke ground for women drivers, over a decade before they achieved the right to vote.
