Bibliography

Considering all that must have appeared in print about Paige-Detroit, this modest list of documents surely scratches only the surface:

-, Annual Handbook, 15th ed. (Los Angeles: Floyd Clymer, n.d.), 225. A reprint of the original, published in New York City by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce in 1918. Floyd Clymer, who died in 1970, was a dealer, motorcyclist and publisher, who began in the 1940s to print reproductions of automotive literature.

-, The Automobile Handbook: Gasoline Automobiles 1913-1922 (Los Angeles: Floyd Clymer, n.d.), 346. A very useful resource, helpful here in its discussion of horsepower calculations.

Betts, Charles L., Jr., American Vintage Cars: An Historical Account of Famous Speedsters and Record-Breakers (New York: Sports Car Press, 1963). The Paige Daytona, introduced in 1921, was modeled after the first and most famous speedster, the 1914 Stutz Bearcat. The author covers Graham stock car racing at the end of the Paige chapter.

The author used various sources from 1915-1929 but warns there are discrepancies in the material, even in data from Paige-Detroit itself. Covers Jewett production. I have uploaded relevant portions.
