West Peterson Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The grille on this car looks very familiar. The body looks to be custom, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I found 1918 and 1919 Paige matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Saxton Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It is a very big car, in proportion to the people. Aspects of the body look a bit German. I am not sure whether Stoewer made anything that big at that time. The derelict 1918 Paige that was taken for scrap before we could get back to Yass near Canberra to rescue it in winter 1965, and all I have is photos. That was a much smaller car. It may be useful to place it in view of people more comprehensively familiar with early European cars, on prewarcar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 From November 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) In that era Paige made two model lines. The one that is seen in several pics on the net is the smaller 6-42 which has a 119" wheelbase. There was also a bigger 6-55 on a 127" wheelbase which is probably what the car here is. The girl in the picture is quite young and probably no more than 5' tall. The smaller model used Paige's own engine of about 230 cid but the bigger model used a 300 plus cid Continental. The car here is no later than 1919 but not earlier than 1918.I found this page which suggests that the 1918 and 1919 models were the same - http://www.wcroberts.org/Paige_History/1919_Paige.html - and the car here is most likely a 6-55 sedan.There is another sedan on this page - http://www.svvs.org/help23.shtml Edited January 16, 2015 by nzcarnerd (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
