1923réf. 58809Portland OR: n.p. 1923. One large silver gelatin photograph sized 14 x 23.5 in. w/o photographer’s imprint or markings on thick matte finish photo paper very very slight closed tear at lower fore-edge neatly repaired in original glass & frame now w/ archival foam core backing. This wonderful image graced the offices of the Oregon Auto Stage Terminal Co. in downtown Portland out of the Union State Depot. Following World War I over 135 motor buses and automobiles operated over 16 different routes within a 125-mile radius of Oregon. Before the Oregon Auto Stage Terminal was built countless unlicensed and registered companies stationed themselves at corners hotels and spots throughout the city resulting in many complaints from both tourists and residents. The OAST Co. established a well organized system that allowed more than 10000 passengers to be carried every year and these Fageol buses along with White Co. coaches were especially popular on the windy and picturesque route along the Columbia River Highway. We could find no similar surviving promotional company photo for the Company. See: Earl Brownlee Various Makes of Busses are Used with Marked Success. . .

An historically important survivor dealership sales brochure and album for the short-lived Victor W. Page Motors Corp. developed and built with the patented innovations of Victor W. Page 1885-1947 a pioneering automotive and aeronautical specialist and inventor. Following World War I Page left his position as the chief Aeronautical Engineering Officer in France to found the Victor W. Page Motors Corp. intended to produce over 300000 automobiles a year including the Aero-Type Four featuring his patented air-cooled motor suspension system chassis and cutaway seats. By January 1922 he was able to exhibit at the New York Auto Show with original photographs included in this dealership album of two couple sedans two convertible speedsters a display chassis and a body for the Aero-Type Four. The automobiles targeted the $ 1250- $ 1750 price range and featured steel dixc wheels contoured shell hood and fenders built with liberal amounts of aluminum.The first 15 automobiles were built in a Liberty Engine Factory including the ground-breaking 30 horsepower 4-cylinder engine featured his patented tilted steering wheel system and disc brakes. The body and chassis were built in Farmingdale MA and the engines were assembled in New York for an eventual production of just 15 cars and none survived after the liquidation auction in 1927. Page had prior experience with automobiles and had actually built 25 total cars with his earlier company the Page Motor Vehicle Co. of Providence RI which closed at the entry of the U.S. into World War I. Page in his second company as shown here intended a huge stock offering but unfortunately trusted the less than scrupulous grifter Charles Beadon to sell the stock whose salesmen ended up embezzling all dividends and profits. Some of the eary investors traveled to the Stamford CT plant to get their money back and Beadon sued him. After years of litigation the company was dissolved and all properties equipment and assets sold off. Unfortunately none of the Victor W. Page automobiles survive and this cataloguer could find no similar surviving piece of sales literature or photographs as this item.

According to publicly available Florida corporate records the firm run by a Graddy Richard likely the Cajun ‘Ree-shard’ pronunciation operated from about 1986-1988 the height of production of the C4 Fourth Generation Chevrolet Corvette. Richard seems to have sourced fiberglass aerodynamic and ground effects packages from the prominent boutique customizer Greenwood also packaging his own custom-designed modifications to the seminal American sports car including options for wood-inlayed dashboards upgraded wheel packages etc… The included brochures contain a photocopied appearance on the company in a 1987 issue of MOTOR TREND magazine: "Distinctly styled Corvettes is another tuner that turns out high quality work. We had the opportunity to drive three examples from the company including a striking Callaway Twin Turbo and left quite impressed with the company’s commitment. Like Quality Motorsports Distinctly Styled Corvettes uses a number of Greenwood components. Special care is used in mating these pieces to the body and color-matching the paint. The company is also noted for individual touches like adding Corvette badges to the targa bar and gold lettering of engine identification. Distinctly Styled Corvettes often uses BBB component wheels and mates them with Michelin XGT tires. Genuine wood dash panels are also a frequently installed modification. The firm’s prices vary considerably since each car is built to the owner’s preference. Typical modifications generally run between $2000 and $5000.†Motor Trend September 1987; p. 44 A must-have primary source photographic archive depicting the iconic late 1980’s American Sports car.
