These Jewett Sixes were New Day Cars for New Day Needs. In 1926, these Jewett's were promoted as cars of amazing spirit – real beauty and unlimited stamina. They were the first quality sixes ideal for the wealthiest men in the land. They were produced to last.

While Jewetts weren't considered to have super good looks, they were conservatively handsome and became an instant success. They outsold Paige models by more than two to one in the beginning, and even with prices three times higher than a Ford Model T it was still considered an excellent buy in its class, which included Hudson's Essex, Studebaker's Erskine (1924) and even Pontiac (1926). ?
