A very good-looking car, and undoubtedly rare today, too.

An excellent find, Classic Lines!  When I was searching for

a pre-war car several years ago, I wanted something out of

the ordinary, and this would have filled the bill.

 

Since this has been in a museum, and is photographed 

in place, it likely doesn't run or has mechanical needs.

Says runs and drives in the ad,  but I would take that as runs and drives around the yard, figuring it will need alot of sorting to be a driver.  The rusty spot on the engine is a bit concerning.

Are you thinking it's a crack in the engine block,

with water leaking through?  (I learn from others'

knowledge.)

[auburnseeker]

Might just be a bracket that is somehow attached to the block and that waterjacket.  May just be leaky bolts that go all the way through,  but either way,  something to get a good look at before going any further.

A car in 3 colors ...wow .A little to much for me .

How much more attractive (to me, at least) if it was simply black or a single color.

Here's a page about it from Mecum auctions, where it was recently an item. This car reminds me of something that I've warned of before, don't take your wife with you when you go to shop for paint colors. Honestly, my first thought was something like "'55 Mercury."

I just looked closely at one of the photos of this car that was one the Mecum site. It's the photo of the engine from the drive's side. I count three different fuel filters!

Graham Model 46 Rumble seat coupe, price is fair.

 

That is the water plate leaking, most likely rusted out, not to hard to find a replacement.

 

 

The Green 1932 Graham Business Coupe is a great looking Model "Prosparity 6", at a better price, and more historically correct, it also is for sale, well it was ...love the correct black wire wheels (first year for drop center rims, no clincher wheels) all factory, they looked that good.

That green one was listed 3 years ago.  Surprised if it's not sold by now.  Seems very reasonably priced.  Probably a good thing I bought my 33 Plymouth or I would have been all over this.  Says it has numerous small issues to be corrected.  Curious what they are, though it says runs and drives as is and will make a new owner very happy.

 

Has anyone ever inquired into it?
