1924 Chrysler Maxwell.

At the same car show, the radiator badge was Maxwell, not Chrysler. This was the first model built by Chrysler, and was very advanced for it's time, having four wheel hydraulic brakes, a Ricardo designed cylinder head, and the comparatively high compression ratio of 5:1, gave it a top speed of 70mph.

I think that this is the only example of these cars in Europe, and I imagine they are rare even in the US.
