I wonder what they want for the Paige? The price given is for an Oakland, no pictures. I would consider it if it were within 600 miles? But SD? I suppose I could call, but I hate to do that if I cannot be a serious buyer.

Call, Wayne. Soon. Don't worry.   -  Carl

Hey Carl,

I tell ya, ten years ago I would have wanted to jump on that! I have always had a fondness for Paige automobiles, and their history.  They are probably one of the best "also rans" and very undervalued history-wise. Rarely seen on tours, but a few owners I know love driving them and say they are very reliable. Paige had some interesting styling, and I could probably have done something good with what I see there.  But that was ten years ago. The realities of my today isn't so good.  Bad family, plus financial realities have hurt a lot. All the good cars I had are gone, but I have about five good project cars already that I need to try to do something with (including the '27 Paige my dad bought in '67!).  So as much as I see potential there (I have resurrected worse!)? I just have to torture myself for awhile and try to get back to work on a couple others.

I sure wish somebody would step up and save it though.
