For Sale: Rare 1926 Paige Model 6-75 – Historic Classic Car with Unique Provenance
Step back in time with this exceptional 1926 Paige Model 6-75, a true gem from the Roaring Twenties. Owned and cared for over the past 12+ years, this vintage classic is more than just a car—it’s a piece of American automotive history. With its confirmed low mileage (see odometer photo), this vehicle fits the bill as a true barn find survivor.
Vehicle Overview:
-
Make & Model: 1926 Paige Model 6-75
-
Engine: Original and runs smoothly
-
Odometer: Accurate and verified
-
Location Built: Detroit, Michigan
-
Custom Ordered: Originally built for a customer in San Francisco, California
-
Ownership History: Believed to have had only four owners since new
Historical Significance:
Through email correspondence with the great-grandson of Fredrick Osgood Paige—the founder of Paige Motor Car Company—we confirmed this car’s unique backstory. Although it doesn’t appear in the Paige production database, its low serial number and the presence of a Weed emblem on the front bumper strongly suggest it was a custom-built model, possibly excluded from records intentionally.
Paige proudly marketed their vehicles as “The Most Beautiful Cars in America”, and this Model 6-75 lives up to that legacy. It was ahead of its time in engineering and features, including:
-
Hydraulic brakes (at a time when Cadillac still used mechanical)
-
Factory-installed shocks
-
Locking steering wheel
Brand Legacy:
Paige automobiles were manufactured from 1908 to 1927. The company was eventually acquired by the Graham Brothers, becoming Graham-Paige, and the Paige name was retired a few years later.
Provenance:
This vehicle was discovered on a ranch in Madera County, California. The previous owner had acquired it from a peace officer in San Francisco, who in turn had purchased it through an estate sale in the city. This makes me the fourth documented owner.
Whether you’re a collector, investor, or classic car enthusiast, this 1926 Paige Model 6-75 offers unmatched character and historical value. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind pre-war vehicle with a fascinating backstory.

1959 BMW R Series

- A numbers matching, highly original example with fantastic patina throughout
- Currently in running condition
BMW and Germany were in ruins following the Potsdam Agreement and the end of WWII in the European theatre. With their hands tied, they were very limited on what they could design and build so they were largely relegated to pre-war designs for the postwar motorcycles. When the agreement was lifted in 1948, BMW’s first postwar motorcycle to be sold to the public was the R24 250cc single cylinder, which was essentially a pre-war R23. It was not until 1956 that BMW would introduce their largely redesigned R26 model. Fitted with a 250cc single-cylinder engine, producing 15 hp, bolted directly to the frame, the R26 also came with an enclosed drive shaft, rear swingarm and Earles type front forks. The little single cylinder bikes sold well, especially in Europe, where economic and reliable daily transport was much more important than here in America. The R26 would be replaced by slightly upgraded R27 in 1960. Over its 5-year production run, just over 30,000 R26 motorcycles were built, with most of them finding homes throughout Europe.
This particular 1959 BMW R26, chassis number 362283 and engine number 362283, is a numbers matching example with excellent originality and patina throughout. It is believed to be original paint and judging by the patina and character present on the bike, it is hard to argue otherwise. Not much is known on the early history of the motorcycle but for past approximately 2 decades it has resided in collections and has been well cared for and maintained in a running “project” type condition. According to the registration sticker, still affixed to the rear fender it was last registered in Pennsylvania in 1985. The bike currently runs and has a fresh battery installed although we were only able to get the bike running by bump starting it. The odometer currently states the mileage as 4297 but the accuracy of this cannot be confirmed. With a bit of additional service, this R26 could easily be made roadworthy and would be the highlight of any motorcycle gathering or an excellent conversation piece in any collection. Included with the sale of this motorcycle is the original owners manual.
