1950s?

1960s (from Ebay)

BS Lavani picked up this beauty back in 1997 for $82K - not sure when it last did business.

Ja-Max, not so max anymore. 07.01.16 (G. Kueber)

After years on the market, the Ja-Max was torn down in 2022. Sad - it could have been an amazing mid-century kitsch revival for someone with money and vision.
