1929 Graham-Paige Model 615

For 1929, the Graham-Paige Company offered a slew of vehicles powered by both six- and eight-cylinder engines. The six-cylinder could be found in the Model 612, Model 615, and Model 621. The 612 rested on a 112-inch platform, the 615 came with a 115-inch frame, and the 621 had a 121-inch frame. The eight-cylinder engine powered the Model 827 and 837. The 827 had a 127-inch platform while the Model 837 was 10 inches larger.

Pricing ranged from $850 to over $4400. Bodystyles included roadsters, coupes, 2- and 4-door sedans, cabriolets, and limousines.

The Graham-Paige vehicles had been introduced at the New York Auto Show in January of 1928. First-year production was impressive, totaling 73,195 cars. It quickly established itself as a market leader with a reputation for elegantly styled, well-made vehicles. As they entered the 1929 model year, expectations were high, and considering the marketplace competition and Black Tuesday, the company did rather well. They weathered the Great Depression with their line of vehicles which included 12 models on five chassis of lower- and higher-priced intermediary cars.
