Exploring the Legacy of Graham Paige Automobiles

Hi, folks, I'm Nate with you guys a ride today, Rob and I are here in beautiful Iola, WI at the Iola Car Show and we're here with Michael. Michael, thanks for taking your time with us today. A pleasure. I'm always eager to share Graham Paige history and Graham Page culture. Now for those of our viewers that are taking a look at the car behind us, you're going to go, uh huh. All right, So a little bit of an unusual find here...

Graham-Paige was an American automobile manufacturer founded by brothers Joseph B. Graham (1882-1970), Robert C. Graham (1885-1967), and Ray A. Graham (1887-1932) in 1927. Automobile production ceased in 1940, and its automotive assets were acquired by Kaiser-Frazer in 1947. As a corporate entity, the Graham-Paige name continued until 1962.

After successful involvement in a glass manufacturing company (eventually sold to Libbey Owens Ford), brothers Joseph B., Robert C., and Ray A. Graham began in 1919 to produce kits to convert Ford Model Tsinto trucks and modify Model TTs. That led to the brothers building their trucks using engines of various manufacturers and the Graham Brothers brand. Eventually, they settled on Dodge engines, and soon the trucks were sold by Dodge dealers. The Grahams expanded from beginnings in Evansville, Indiana, opening plants in 1922 on Meldrum Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, of 13,000 square feet (1,200 m2), and in 1925 on Cherokee Lane in Stockton, California.

The Canadian market was supplied by the Canadian Dodge plant. Dodge purchased the Graham Brothers truck firm in 1925, and the three Graham brothers took on executive positions at Dodge.

Graham's new truck line for 1928 included four 4-cylinder models ranging from 1⁄2 to 1+1⁄2 short tons (450 to 1,360 kg) and one 2-short-ton (1,800 kg) 6-cylinder model, which used the same engine as the Dodge Brother's Senior Six, lightly modified for truck duty. The Graham Brothers brand lasted until 1929, Chrysler Corporation having taken over Dodge in 1928
