Jewett (automobile)

The Jewett was an automobile built in Detroit, Michigan by the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company from March 1922 through December 1926.

The car was marketed as a Jewett 'Six' — a companion to the Paige, the primary product of Paige-Detroit.

For several years, Jewett cars featured a powerful straight-six engine that could climb mountains.

[1] Embedded in the dashboard of every Jewett was an amulet, visible on the passenger side as a dash plate.

Harry's wife Mary was something of a spiritualist, and these amulets were purported to have mystical power that protected the occupants.
