Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company had been building automobiles since 1909. In 1919, they planned a new series with a more powerful engine, known as the '6-66' series. To highlight the '6-66' series, they built this first 'speedster,' without the Daytona name. A racing version, driven by Ralph Mulford, set a world speed record (102.83 mph) for its class. Hence, the name 'Daytona Speedster' was used for the following 50 production cars. This example is the original show car. Special features include disc wheels, Westinghouse air springs, special dashboard layout, and a mother-in-law seat, all on a long wheelbase chassis. Over the years, through mergers and acquisitions, Paige-Detroit became a part of what is now know as Daimler-Chrysler.
