Barry, I think that's a 1937 Graham, possibly with a European-built body, as indicated by the trafficators. Those hood louvers are pretty distinctive, aren't they?

And yes, I'd say that's a very rare car!!

Are we looking at the same picture? I don't see a '37 Graham, I see the invitation to a funeral for Victor Wayne Hogan on Friday night. I think I've finally caught the crazy.

I see the funeral notice (but it is actually posted upside down).... At the bottom (across the top of the upside down notice), it has a Cardomain.com logo.

1937 Graham

I don't think that there's a single panel or piece of trim on that car that came from a 1937 Graham, except for the louvers and possibly the "Supercharged" badge. (Maybe the horns and the relocated door handles.) It looks like a full custom to me, styled after the Graham. Possibly done on a 1960's chassis based on the apparent wheel size.

Dave, the car does seem to have a custom body, and in fact, there looks to be a coachbuilder's plate behind the fender and in front of the door. It could certainly be a modern creation. I'm no Graham expert but seem to recall that Graham chassis were used for custom coachwork during this time period in England and possibly other European countries.

Barry, where'd you snag this picture? Looks like some kind of organized tour, based on the banner between the front bumper guards on the Graham (as well as on the following car, as best I can tell).
