  1929 Graham Paige Roadster
The 1928 Graham Paige was the first automobile produced by the Graham Brothers after they ended their association with Dodge.
In 1929, the Graham Paige was produced with a choice of five chassis in six and eight cylinders and a four-speed transmission with two high speeds at prices ranging from $885 to $2,495 US dollars.
The 1929 Graham Paige was a well-built car that offered comfort, roadability and excellence in engineering but the buying public were few and far between in the dark days of early Depression.

An automobile, usually called a car (an old word for carriage), is a wheeled, self-powered vehicle, meaning it carries its own engine.
While steam-powered vehicles were devised as the late 18th century, it is generally claimed that the first automobiles or cars with an internal combustion engine were completed almost simultaneously in 1886 by two German inventors working independently, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz.
The large scale, production-line manufacturing of affordable automobiles was developed by Henry Ford in the 1910s.

 Re: Centennial Building Murals
Another theory I've heard in regards to the Centennial Murals being painted over was beacuse when the Automobile Building burned in 1942, and was rebuilt in 1948, the "new" Automobile Building no longer had its murals, so the murals on the Centennial Building were painted over so the two buildings would match.
However, per the www.fairparkmurals.com website states that the Centennial Buildings murals were painted over in 1942 (the year the Automobile Building burned).
