Cars From Chrysler Corporation Were On Hand For the Pumpkin Run

The Maxwell Motor Company was founded in 1904, making it one of the earliest "successful" car manufacturers in America. But in trying to compete with the low cost offerings from companies such as Ford and Oldsmobile, Maxwell found itself overextended and under funded by the end of World War I. That's when industrialist Walter P. Chrysler stepped in and bought them up. Since Maxwell was in the midst of a merger with Chalmers Automobile Company, it meant the Chrysler owned two struggling car companies. In 1925 the Chrysler Corporation was formed and has since gone on to be one of the "Big Three" US automakers. With its rich history there were a lot of Chrysler vehicles on hand for the 46th Annual Pumpkin Run Nationals including this beautiful 1948 Windsor. Also at the Clermont County Fair Grounds that day was a 1936 Plymouth, a Dodge Charger RT, a 1956 Plymouth Fury, a 1949 Windsor, and a Dodge Challenger RT.
