GRAHAM HISTORY: The 1940-41 Graham Hollywood body from the cowl back is from the 1936-37 Cord 810/812 designed by Gordon Buehrig. Hood and front fenders designed by John Tjaarda. Approx. 1. 00 produced in 1940. 400 in 1941. Car was originally equipped with a continental flathead 6 cylinder engine. some with supercharger. The body is of "monocoque" design. has no ladder frame but has stub frames front and back to mount engine and running gear. Fron "suicide" doors. Buehrig designed only one door for the car; the rear doors were cut to a template to accommodate the rear fender.

This car gets attention like no other car in my inventory. Cruises down the road or freeway great. It has had some miles put on it since constructed and has developed some cracks in the paint (see pics). Fuel gauge is intermittent. Overall still presents very well and will definitely stand out in a crowd. Clean California title.
