Jewett Motors was a subsidiary of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company (see Paige) and was established to produce a reasonably priced six-cylinder car to be sold through the Paige dealership network.

The Jewett was an attractive automobile and was immediately popular when introduced in 1922 in touring and sedan body styles. A growing range of body styles was offered in the following years. In January 1927, after the production of over 100,000 cars, the Jewett name was dropped and the car became a model of the Paige.

Emblems

The first Jewett cars in 1922 carried a white and blue enamel radiator emblem, see example shown above.
