Carl Washburn Kelsey built his first car in 1897 before entering college, his second as an undergraduate at Haverford College. He became the most successful dealer for Maxwell, eventually becoming Maxwell's sales manager. When he left Maxwell he established the C.W. Kelsey Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Connecticut and introduced the Kelsey Motorette, a tricar powered by an opposed twin. Just over 200 Kelsey Motorettes were built, one of which is this superbly restored car that is a 1997 AACA Senior National First Prize winner.
