In the early 1920s, Paige was one of just a few American manufacturers building cars that could really be considered “sporting;” its only competition came from Mercer, Kissel, and Stutz. The company’s most famous sports model, the Model 6-66 Daytona Speedster, was built between 1922 and 1926 and set many speed records. The Paige Model 6-66 was initially built as a 7-passenger touring car, but in 1921 a stripped-down prototype broke the world speed record at Daytona, achieving a speed of 108.5 mph. So the company built the Daytona Speedster in recognition of this great feat. This two-seat Daytona Speedster is one of only five known to exist. Adding a touch of luxury to its sporting looks, it is fitted with padded seats, individual fenders, a full windshield, and a folding top as well as a drawer-style occasional third seat for one brave passenger. Even with its full body equipment the new Daytona Speedster could achieve well over 80 mph.
