AC Fuhrman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) What is a Paige? I have heard the name but know nothing about them.Quality car from Detroit, Jewett was also part of them (named after company president at the time) - around 1927 - the Graham Bros bought the company - (Graham-Paige of course.) The Paige-Daytona 6 was a 'roaring twenties' type of roadster - they are pretty neat! They had an extra seat in a drawer gizmo that pulled out of the passenger side. I'm sure there are pictures of one somewhere on line or in books. I like the little window 'awnings' on this sedan - reminds me of Mr. Hooper's store!

Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I looked at this car last December when I bought a Model T from Bob. It is a really neat car, would be great for HPOF. I have bought a couple of cars from Bob, a straight shooter giving honest descriptions. A very pleasant and helpful person to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jps Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I also saw this car just after Bob got it about 2 years ago. Really a cool car, and the interior is very nice original. Dashboard looks very rich. I wanted a 4-door sedan and this is a 2-door, but I think someone would be very happy with it. I think about it often and look at the pics I took often - see below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I wish my Paige looked this nice. If I live long enough, maybe I can get get mine put together. This one looks like a very nice preservation vehicle.Paige, and Jewett were among the hundreds of "also ran"s built in the '10s and 1920s. Paige had a rich and good history, and deserves to be remembered a lot more than they are. They turned a profit almost every year they were produced. This was a feat accomplished by only a few companies in those years where most producers went belly-up in under five years (and sometimes two or thee times). Paige was named the ninth largest producer of automobiles in America for one year. Another major accomplishment. Consider some the companies that beat them that year. Ford, all of General Motors, Chrysler, Dodge (then still separate), all of Willys Overland, all of Durant (including Star), Hudson/Essex. Off the top of my head? I do not know who number eight was.Paige Detroit Motor Car Company sold out to the Graham Brothers only because Harry Jewett had made his third or fourth fortune and in his 60s, was well ready to retire. Since the company had flourished so well for so many years under his guidance, nobody in the company wanted to try to fill his shoes. Additional problems were that General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler were buying up a lot of the Detroit area supply and production companies, and Paige had suffered production delays for a couple years because the companies that supplied most of their parts were disappearing. The Graham Brothers had just benefited from a huge settlement from the sale of Dodge to Chrysler (through a couple other sale attempts that failed), but which they had owned a lot of stock in. The Graham Brothers had wanted to continue producing automobiles, a step up from the production of trucks in partnership with Dodge. Taking over Paige seemed like the perfect fit to them. For about two years. Good luck with the sale of this car! I hope it gets a good caretaker. Sadly, I cannot be in the market to buy anything right now. Unless the owner wants to trade it for my model T coupe? (Not likely) And the shipping cost would probably kill it both ways.Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Good synopsis Wayne! You and I discussed this car about two years ago, hope it goes to a good home. Here are two more pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If you are thinking about this car at all please give Bob P. a call, it is really an HPOF car, nice enough to be a daily driver. I sure wish I had the room for this one but my garage is already 1/2 full with two cars I bought from Bob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree: An interesting car, and if it's mostly original, great for the HPOF class. But do you really think someone would be driving this car daily and commuting in it? Do you know people in your experience who commute in 90-year-old cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Ha! I meant as a daily driver collector car. I try to drive one or more of my collector cars every day for something fun, but to commute with one....no way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is asking " Hello, I am from Argentina, I have a very original 1927 Paige coupe and I do not see any on the internet. possible quote, could get to sell. Thank you." He may need to provide pictures also for an answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Pardon me for becoming paranoid. But I have stumbled into two of Juan Ramon's three postings. Appears he has a few very rare cars for sale. He has dredged up this old Paige for sale ad and an unknown maybe Auburn project ad, adding in his own for sale maybe onto them. Maybe I should look for number three? The "maybe Auburn" addition includes a '32 Boat-tail. One should wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 It is better to be vigilant than paranoid. Let us determine Juan's motives by his further actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
