The big news for 1927 was the addition of a 6-cylinder engine, and the cars were now known as the ''G-4'' and the "G-6". They looked like all the big sedans of 1927. The Series "E" model stayed on a little while longer to keep some of the old customers happy. By the end of 1927 there were 18 manufacturers of automobiles. The competition was stiff and the demand for more style for the customer's money was evident. The company had a bad year and a drastic change was needed.
