Handsome New Sedan

A new Paige, the 6-65 four door
sedan, passenger car of
striking appearance and unusually
complete appointments, has been
brought out by the PaigeoDetroit
Motor Car company. Heretofore
only one model, the popular two
door Paige brougham, has appeared
on this chassis.
The new 6-65 sedan marks a dis
tinct advance in style. Contour, color,
and trim have been combined by the
makers to produce an ensemble that
is at once strikingly modern looking
and unusually spacious and comfort
able.
Particularly noteworthy is the ap-
pearance of length, skillfully at
tanned through the artful combina-
ton of long and sweeping curves
with low-hung masses and care
fully balanced colors.
The roof line, for instance, is one
continuous curve, starting at the
front edge of the integral visor,
sweeping over the top, and Joining

rounded ball corners and curved
