Projects '36 Graham

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Rock 'n Roll DaddyO, Jan 16, 2012.

  1. Perfect start to the new year! I wasn't going to post this because I just posted about my '48 Chrysler but I am giddy as a school girl on prom night! I just picked up a '36 Graham, it's pretty rough but I had to have it. Long story short I have two boys, their middle names; Hudson and Graham. Well I already have a '48 Hudson and needed the Graham now I have it.

    I want to pick it up next weekend but I need to get some tires mounted on the rims or just put some rollers on it. Can anybody tell me what bolt pattern is on these cars? Anyways I attached a couple of pics for your viewing pleasure.........

    Come to Wisconsin and see what rough really is !:D To me it looks pretty damn solid and a nice start for a project, have fun.

    Very lucky find, especially since it looks like almost all the trim and emblems (and that great Streamline Moderne hood ornament) are intact. Did it originally have a supercharger like many of them had?

    that thing looks cherry compared to stuff in the upper midwest. Good luck with it.

    Thats going to be a cool car when its done. You don't even hear Graham anymore at showes. They are real nice cars I think Jay Leno owns one.
     
  7. Great find! I'd be happy just find a Graham supercharger :)

    Looks great.

    Might have trouble finding that missing fender.
     
  9. Asfar as the supercharger this car did not have one originally but I did find one for sale about a mile from where this car sat. As for the bumper, it's actually inside the car. Everything is pretty much there, although I could not find the gauges (hopefully they are buried inside the car).
     
  10. That's sweet! I hope I find the gauges buried in the car.

    Does anybody know what the bolt pattern is for this car?

    Take some heavy plywood tire-sized circles with you and drill to fit on site? I've done that on dry terrain, would not work in mud.

    Some cool cars you have. On your way to building a Mopar museum.
