VintageLiterature Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Really hoping that someone here can help solve a mystery! I recently purchased the framed illustration attached which I believe to be original styling art. It is dated 1937 and signed Murdoch (possible first name of Ernest though this may not be accurate). I purchased this as-is and know nothing about the history. I have sent photos to some experts who have suggested that the car is possibly Graham or Hupmobile (my first thought was also Graham). However, no one has yet been able to confirm this or provide any background information on the designer who made this. Really hoping that someone here is familiar with the designer and can tell me which make this was for. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie_610 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Cant offer you any more than my personal opinions of the car Well I can see some Graham Elements. The glasshouse and the headlights look sharknose. The body looks to be a mix of sharknose with hints of hollywood. That Front end looks weird though. Could have been someone trying to add a conventional front end to the sharknose to make it less controversial. Oh and I dont like the front. put the sharknose front on it and you have a winner, it would be a more cohesive design than what was produced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
