Eystein Sedberg Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Hi, a novice to Grahams, but looking at an 837 from 1929 which is for sale. Two questions : - Where on the car may I find the chassis number ? - Have problems finding photos of the engine on the net. Only thing I found was from a car in which the engine appeared to be a mirror image!!! (No- photo was not reversed -checked that with reference to the steering box) Can anyone confirm that the engine in the attached pictures from the car I am looking at is original to a 1929 837 ?

Graham Man Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Yes I can.... Two questions : - Where on the car may I find the chassis number ? Two places to find the SN. First, inside the car rear floor left hand side near the rear door sill plate, but it is a open car, so it could be anywhere on the front seat frame. It is also stamped on the frame directly under the radator. Most likely location, 3 tags, body number, color number, and SN - Have problems finding photos of the engine on the net.

(No- photo was not reversed -checked that with reference to the steering box) Can anyone confirm that the engine in the attached pictures from the car I am looking at is original to a 1929 837 ? Graham-Paige made 4 different engines in 1929, the sixes are a mirror of the eight...mostly. This engine is mostly correct, incorrect carburetor. Questions you should ask. THIS IS NOT A LeBaron bodied car!!! this is a Graham-Paige body, they came both ways, huge difference in value. 98% of the parts included are incorrect for this car they are all 6 parts. Rear bumper is correct (hard to find) Front bumper is incorrect (and hard to find) Wheels are correct, Hub caps are not. Outside door handles are incorrect Front splash pan is missing Trunk rack is correct The entire body is wood with tin covering (big job to replace the wood if it is bad) Interior is incredibly complete. Not sure on the robe rail (no cars to compare) If you look along the cowl under the hood you will see the original maroon color should have black fenders and a tan leather interior. Only other known Graham-Paige 7 passenger 835 car. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Man Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 From what I understand Continental did the block casting, G-P design. G-P did all the engine machining. The 1928 G-P auto show cars had Continental 8 engines 14K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
