Graham-Paige Automobile Emblem, 1930
01
Artifact Overview
Truck-building brothers Joseph, Robert and Ray Graham purchased Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company in 1927 and rebranded it Graham-Paige. The brothers' new automobile, introduced in January 1928, sold more than 73,000 units in its first year. But the Great Depression devastated Graham-Paige. The company's last cars appeared in 1940, and its assets went to Kaiser-Frazer in 1947.
