This is a vintage original 1922 brochure for the Paige 6-66 Daytona Model speedster issued by the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan.   This brochure is a single piece printed one side only measuring about 7.5” x 5.25” and folding open to about 21” x 15”. 

The Paige 6-66 Daytona Model was produced between 1922 and 1926 and was really a highpoint in the golden age of the American roadster.  This brochure is nicely illustrated and provides detailed descriptive information and specifications for this automobile. The brochure also relates the story of the celebrated racer Ralph Mulford breaking the American stock car record for speed at Daytona Beach when his Paige 6-66 covered a measured mile at 35.01 seconds, a speed of some 102.8 miles per hour, marking the first American-made stock car to exceeded 100 miles per hour.  Additional world stock car chassis records were set by Mulford driving his Paige 6-66 Daytona model at wooden board racing tracks at Uniontown, Pennsylvania in May 1921 and at the Cotati Track in California a year later.   

This brochure isn’t dated but makes references to Mulford’s 1921 accomplishments at Daytona and Uniontown and does not mention the 1922 Cotati record which suggests the brochure was issued in 1922.   This vintage original brochure is fully complete and intact with light handling wear and modest handling wear and was stored in a filing cabinet for probably 100+ years.  Overall condition is excellent.
