Summary

There have been around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of which have disappeared. One of these vanished brands is Graham-Paige, which stood for quality and performance. Racing victories and record-breaking drives were also associated with the brand name. From 1938, however, several flops led to its decline.

Preview (beginning of the article)

For older generations, the name Graham probably stands for bread and preachers. In the meantime, there are many other healthy wholemeal breads and appointed Bible preachers. But there were also once US cars with this name: the brothers Joseph B., Robert C. and Ray Austin Graham once successfully designed commercial vehicles. In 1925, they sold their factory to Dodge and also became Dodge directors. But in 1927, they took over the Paige-Detroit Motor Co. and created the Graham-Paige automobile brand with six- and eight-cylinder models. The logo with the three helmeted head profiles became synonymous with quality and performance. Although the brand was shortened to Graham in 1930, the full company name associated with racing victories and record-breaking drives was retained.
