Yes, it\u2019s a museum piece. Or was, anyway. Now this 1921 Paige Model 6-66 Larchmont II Sport Touring is refreshed and ready for a fall color tour\u2014and at faster pace than you might think.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Offered on Bring a Trailer<\/a>, the century-old Paige is powered by a 70-horse, 331-cubic-inch, L-head inline six-cylinder engine that\u2019s mated to a three-speed manual transmission. What makes that significant is what its cousin, another Paige, did with a similar powerplant. On January 21, 1921, a stripped-down but otherwise stock Paige Speedster broke the American stock car speed record by covering a mile in 35.01 seconds. That\u2019s 102.8 mph. This Sport Touring isn\u2019t expected to perform that\u00a0<\/em>well, but it\u2019s a worthy representation of a peppy passenger car from the era.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company was founded by Fredrick Osgood Paige in 1908, and the automaker\u2019s original offering was a two-seat model powered by a 2.2-liter, three-cylinder, two-stroke engine. Within two years, Paige upgraded to a four-cylinder engine and added a six-cylinder option in 1914. Within five years, Paige automobiles that were outfitted with a Duesenberg engine were referred to as Paige Linwood, while models fitted with a Continental engine (like the one on offer) were called Paige Larchmont.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Brothers Joseph, Robert, and Ray Graham purchased the Paige Motor Car Company in 1927, and Graham-Paige automobiles were produced until 1940.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This 1921 Paige Model 6-66 Larchmont II Sport Touring, located in Getzville, New York, once spent a 20-year stretch on display at the Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum. Service since 2018 includes a reconditioning of the engine, transmission, fuel system, and brakes. It also received a restoration in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In addition to its six-cylinder engine, the green-painted Model 6-66 features a black convertible top and fenders, green-finished running boards with metallic Paige step plates, green disc wheels with polished Paige hubcaps, Boyce Motometer radiator thermometer, a left-side brake light, tilt-out venting windshield, black leather upholstery, and analog clock. The rear seating area is behind a second cowl that contains two locking storage compartments. The five-digit odometer shows 29,000 miles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The car comes with three keys, spare parts, service records, historical documents, handwritten notes, and New York registration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Although some corrosion is visible underneath, this 6-66 has held up well for a centenarian. With five days remaining in the auction, bidding sits at $3500, but it likely won\u2019t stay there for long. A nearly identical 1921 Paige Model 6-66 Larchmont II Sport Touring sold for $17,250 on Bring a Trailer<\/a> just last month.<\/p>\n
