Gregory Bidwell's 1935 Graham Custom

Just wanted to share my 1935 Graham model 73 3 window coupe. This car came from Florida roughly 20-25 years ago. It was all original and in remarkable shape as I was told. I found it in a warehouse in storage for the last 17 years. It had already been altered to a streetrod when I purchased it. To be honest I had no idea what it was but it is an all steel 3 window coupe and I had to have it. I have spent the last year getting it road ready. The body is pretty much unmolested aside for the 49 Lincoln tail lights. Still rides on its stock and pristine frame with the exception of a ford 9” rear. And a ford front spindle with disc brakes. The engine is now a 1962 Cadillac 390 along with matching transmission. The interior is all custom with BMW electric seats, and a 1954 Chevy Belair dash. Added a set of Cragar wheels. The paint scheme is a SoCal Speed shop design. It rides smooth and runs great. And no one ever knows what it is. Love this body style even though it has been said the 35 wasn’t very pretty.

Member Gary Hirdler shares this photo. Isn't it great?!

Chris Records shares photos of his grandfather's garage in Laurel, Delaware. These date back to the 1920s.

From Job van Huizen, The Netherlands:

In the last twenty years, we saw not more than 8 Graham Paige's in Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands. Although your page helped a lot in the identification, we get in trouble quite some times!

It would be great if you could help us identify the cars we took photos of. You may use the pictures on your website if you like! This one for example we saw in 2003 at a concours in Germany. It was referred to as 621 décapotable (French term for a cabriolet/convertible), but it differs from the usual 621 cabriolet from 1929/1930… Can you help?

Please let me know if you can help.

Thanks in advance,

All the best,

Job van Huizen, The Netherlands.

Photos from the 2017 Graham Owners Convention in Fort Wayne can be found HERE. Enjoy!

Hi My Name is Dennis Gooch and this is my car a 1937 Graham Crusader Model 85 . I have owned this car for 49 years. 12 of these cars were imported “CKD” in to New Zealand by Wright Stevensons this particular came from Gore New Zealand and the first owner was Robert Roy of Gore. When I bought the car it was being dismantled I saved it from that fate and rebuilt it. now it’s part of the family. 6 Graham Crusader Model 85's are still running today in New Zealand.

Here are the photos showing my Graham Truck before and after restoration. It is out of Colorado, and was severely deteriorated and was beyond restoration due to none availability of parts. It was customized into a street rod using Dodge Power wagon, Impala station wagon, Dodge station wagon, Mitsubishi brake system, Chevrolet engine and transmission, Ford rear end, and Jeep wheels; but I like it. The seat frame and chassis are original as is all the metal work. I also have the original title and license plate from 1927.

Many of the club members will know the Butters family from Cobourg, Ontario, Canada. They hosted the 2012 GOCI Meet and Michael is well known for his casting business of Graham & Graham-Paige parts. Attached please find a couple quick snaps from Michael & Courtney Butters wedding day, this past Saturday, July 23rd. It should be noted it was hovering around 35 degrees C at the time, with humidity at nearly 80%!

Mike owns the 1928 Graham-Paige 619 Griswold Tudor Phaeton (previously owned by Graeme Page) as well as the 1937 120 SC Sedan (gold), which was his late grandfather and former member, Walter Duncan's car. Neil Butters owns the 1937 116 SC Sedan (purple) as well as the 1913 Ford Model T Touring.

George Kyman's 1929 GP 615 Custom Cabriolet

The Graham Limo in the Vatican Carriage Museum

I got shivers up my spine when I saw the car, it has been beautifully maintained and there is an interesting anecdote next to it. I was reminded of how hard I must work in order to leave an important mark on the world, just as Robert, Ray, and Joseph did. Spotted by Graham C. Dick.

Phil Tessier’s 1937 116 Supercharger four door Sedan

When I found my 1937 it already had all of the drive train removed and had been sitting outside for decades. It was just a shell with rust thru on all of the sheet metal (all doors, fenders, lights and door jams had to have new metal fabricated) The cowl vent was removed and I added a ribbed fade away patch to match the hood ribs. New running boards were fabricated and I made the rubber mats. The roof now has a ribbed 1964 Nova Station Wagon panel welded in. Rear fenders are welded to the body. The three piece hood is now a one piece that opens from either side.

It now has a 350 C.I. Chevy engine with a B & M Supercharger, Mustang Two front end, 700R4 tranny and a 9” Ford rear end. It has Air Ride suspension, Cadillac El Dorado 8 way power seats, tilt steering, air conditioning (front & rear) and power windows that use the original window handles. Outside handles and hinges were removed and bear claw latches installed. I changed the rear doors to suicide opening.

This was all built at home, I did the fabricating, welding, bodywork even mixing the paint myself. My friend Rick Unfried helped with all of the wiring, which was a major task in itself.

We attended the Ca. Graham Owners meet in Visalia last year and have close to 10,000 miles on it in the last 4 years.

1924 Paige

My name is Agneta Skafvenhjelm and I am living in the south of Sweden. After the death of my parents I found this picture and I would very much like to know if this car is a Graham Paige. I think it looks as if it is a convertible. I think this photo is from around 1924, because my mother (Siv Lindgren) is sitting behind the steering wheel and she was born in 1918. In the inventory after my maternal grandfather (Bror Lindgren), from 1932, there is a car “Paige” worth SEK 600:- (USD 70:-). The picture is taken in Vallby, where they were living, but the car must have been bought in Ystad or perhaps in Malmö, Sweden. I had never heard about the manufacturer Paige or Graham Paige and nor has my husband and so we found this fantastic home page (Thank you for this!) with lots of pictures and stories. Now we are even thinking of buying one to restore…

Here are some pictures from my restoration of what was a Graham std six 4 door. The car was totally disassembled rusty and the woodwork in a mess. To make the restoration a little easier a decided to build it as a pickup. It took me 2,5 years to complete the job, and here is the result.

Roger Pierce's 1936 Graham Supercharger 4dr sedan

The car is a 1936 Graham Supercharger 4dr sedan and I purchased it at a small car show in Marlette MI. It was restored by somebody from Port Huron Michigan and he passed away. The people that I purchased it from heard of his passing and they bought his whole collection. They were interested in his model T fords and his Hupmobiles. The Graham was under a cover and they didn't see it until after the purchase. They kept it for about 8 years and decided to sell it because they had only shown it about 3 times and were interested in buying another Hupmobile. When I bought it, it ran fairly well but smoked quite a bit. the electrical system needed a little work to get the lights and horn working again but other than that this is the way it was when I got it.

My grandfather, James M McLean of Sydney, Nova Scotia was the proud owner of two Graham Paige (Paige) cars. I was recently showing my father, Douglas McLean (90), this web site and he asked me to send these family photos to your site. He is not certain of the year of the car, possibly 1927-29, but these photos are of the first car he owned. James M. McLean was the regional manager for Great West Life Insurance Co and the first photo was taken at a Great West Life convention held at St. Andrews-By the-Sea, New Brunswich. My grandmother Ethel McLean is standing between the two gentlemen and James is in the driver's seat. The second photo was taken in 1936, at a cabin in North River, Cape Breton, NS. My father, his sister and cousins are on the porch. Douglas recalls the luggage was stored in the rack at the side door, and with the dirt roads at the time, the suitcases were very dusty at the journey's end. If anyone might be able to identify the year or model number of this car, I would be interested in this information.

Regards,
Nancy McLean

Dan Kiley's 1929 Graham Paige Model 612

I came across your Graham site and thought you might be interested in our pics. The truck was stored in a barn for decades and as a result didn't take a lot of restoration work. We've not been able to find many of these trucks around. It has been in the family for many decades. My father did all the work himself and was very proud of the final result. The parts are all original and it runs very well. The truck is stored in West Kelowna, BC Canada

Nick McCabe's 1929 Graham-Paige

This is a late 1927 or 1928 Graham Brothers Truck, probably built after Chrysler purchased Dodge and Graham Brothers Trucks, still it is truly of Graham Brothers design. It did not actually belong to the California Highway Patrol (State Troopers). It was owned by The Auto Club of Southern California (auto insurance) as a service to help motorists who broke down. I believe they have evolved into AAA. Milton

Mike Carpenter's 1930 Graham Special 822 4 Door Sedan

t was purchased in 1980 from the scattered collection of Truly Nolan Pest Control who use to display antique cars in front of stores and gas stations painted black and yellow with large “TRULY NOLAN PEST CONTROL” letter painted on them. The vehicle underwent a 2 year frame off restoration at a cost of $25,000. The paint is 22 coats of hand rubbed lacquer in Burgundy and Black and the interior was redone in original mohair. I acquired the vehicle in 1999 and added turn signals and an alternator. In 2009 I had the engine redone at a cost of $10,800 which included a new aluminum head, aluminum side water cover and baffle, new valves, springs, timing gears, chain, internal copper oil lines redone, etc., etc., etc..... While looking for parts World Wide we discovered many six cylinder vehicles but very few 8 cylinder units.

Bob Ruggiero's 1932 model 56 Graham

I am just now getting around to finish restoring my 1932 Graham, Model 56, 4 Door Sedan, with Duo Side Mounts. I have been working on this car part time for the past 35 years. I would like to run the full story in the Graham clubs news paper some day. I modified the exterior just slightly to have blinker lights in the front and back. I also adapted the car with an additional 12 volt alternator and battery to have a 12 volt radio and CD and additional lights inside. The side angle "S" chrome pieces were also added with side lights for at night. We are going to use this car in my daughters' wedding this year August 4, 2012. Just recently I added the Flying Goddess on the water cap to the car. The goddess is all original, mounted, and chrome plated over. This car really stands out, and everyone that sees it loves it. A lot of hours of hard work that paid off.

Corky Rossman's 1928 Graham Brothers Panel Truck

Here are some of the pictures of the 28 Graham panel. I bought this from the grandson of the man who bought it new in 1928. I have all the history of the truck and pictures of the original owner standing in the grocery store that this truck delivered grocery's for from 1928 to 1954 in Pekin, Illinois. It was then put in storage for approximately 53 years, when this grandson got the truck out of storage and got it running. We drove the truck for a couple of weeks and it ran good but smoked a lot. I have since upgraded the truck to modern drive train but have left the body as found. More pictures to follow.

37 Graham Caviler Business Coupe

My name is Brett Snyder and I have a 37 Graham Caviler business coupe. It all came about when I was working on a 53 GMC truck. My distance family relative came over to ask me if I would machine some old John Deere tractor parts. After he had seen the work that I had done on my truck, he told me that when I finish his parts he would like to show me something out in his garage. Well to my surprise he had this 37 Graham Caviler sitting in this garage for all most 30 years. He wanted me to have it with only one condition, don't hot rod it. He offered it to me at a price I could not refuse. So here I am beginning a frame off restoration. These pictures show the day I pick it up back in 2000. I have since completed the chassis. I will show you later in an email the process as it stands.

1938 Graham Supercharged Model 96

1938 Graham Supercharged Model 96, Sharknose 4 door sedan, 6 Cylinder supercharged 217.8 cu in engine, 116 HP @4000 rpm, and overdrive. The current owner is Jean Lipscomb Simons 2007 – to present. (Doug Lipscomb, Son), residence in Florida. Previous Owners were Orville Simons 2006 – 2007, changed ownership in March 2006 from John E Garman, Residence in Pennsylvania, and in 1996 from G. M. Howell, who appears to have owned it from at least 1956. My, stepfather, Orv Simons bought the Graham when he was told that his heart was weak and time was short. It was one of his first car purchases when he was younger, so he was excited to own one again. The Graham helped him to relive some of those earlier years. The Graham was a fast car in the 30-40’s and Orv enjoyed showing off the car. He had owned an auto repair shop in Detroit in the 1940’s. Currently I am in the process of revitalizing, cleaning and enjoying the Graham.

Steve Howard's 8 year project. 1938 Graham Sharknose

The car started off as a really rough pile. It was a parts car for the restoration of a Combination Coupe. It has a custom frame, nine inch ford rear with disc brakes all around. Air ride front and rear. Motor is a 5.0 ford with fuel injection, trans is AOD. Power steering and brakes. Power top started as 1964 Chevelle. Also has suicide doors and one inch taken out of the windshield . I did all the work except the paint.

Robert Johnson's 1937 Graham

Well Jack here I send you the pictures I have from my father's Graham Paige. He bought that car in 1935, in Holland. We made a lot of nice journeys with it, to Belgium and France. That was in those days a big journey. My father had an orchid-nursery and many customers with flower shops in Amsterdam. Every Monday he went with the Graham to serve his customers. When I was a little older I always was with him. We got in World War II a special permission to drive the car, and we got gasoline for it, because the Germans they liked our flowers very much. But In 1947 the cylinder head was broken and at that time no one could melt it, so my father changed the car for another one. That was the end of our Graham Paige time.

This is my 1935 Graham model 68 Right Hand Drive, X South Africa, owned by my father, Aubrey Jillings, in 1944/5 and was his wedding car on the 5th May 1945 in Durban. Peter Jillings

Hi ! My name is Bert Storkson from Sweden. I got a picture of my father's Sharknose 1939? from a postcard that was sold in shops etc. The picture is taken 1954, and I know it's my father's, because it was the only one in town. He had first a 1934 Convertible with a straight 8 cylinder, later a 1938 Sharknose, then this one in picture. The Graham cars were very rare in the area we lived (Wermland County near the Norwegian border). The nearest Graham owner was about 60 km from us, and my father was friends with the owner of that car.

Arne Holme's 1931 Graham 820, Norway

I am Michael Rosser of Lower Hutt in North Island New Zealand. I recently purchased a 1929 Graham-Paige 612 in a completely un-restored condition. It had been imported in to New Zealand and was in the ownership of one family in the Hamilton area until 2008. Then after a short period it was in the ownership of a local friend of that family until I was fortunate enough to buy the car earlier this month! I enclose photographs of the car – which, I understand has only had one paint re-spray in 1972 and is otherwise unaltered and un-restored. The registration number is “BS 20” which is one of a series (“BS 1” to BS 30” I have been told) that were allocated to the Waikato Branch of the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand when that branch of the club was started. There are 35 branches of the club around the country and I am a member of the Wellington Branch.

I trust that this will be a welcome addition to your records of Graham-Paige cars around the world.
Regards
Mike Rosser

Katherine J. Wilkinson's family Grahams 1935 and 1936

Both Grahams belonged to Elmer and Martha Tefft Burdick, who were my great aunt and uncle. (My great uncle Elmer was my grandfather's brother.) They--the Grahams and their owners--lived in Petersburgh, Rensselaer County, New York. The picture with the two women actually shows one of the owners of the car. The woman on the right is Martha Tefft Burdick. Both this picture and the one of all the kids on the running board were taken at my grandfather's and grandmother's house in Plainfield, Massachusetts about 1938. My mother and six of her siblings and a few of their many cousins make up the crowd so I can make a pretty good guess at the date of the pictures. The pictures without people are mine, given to me by Arron Tefft Burdick; the pictures with the people in them belong to my cousin Kay, whose mother is the woman on the left in the picture with Martha Tefft Burdick. Both Kay and I are happy to have you post the pictures (Kay is the little curly-haired girl in the front row looking down and away from the camera. And the blonde boy second from the left in the front row is Arron Tefft Burdick, the son of the owners of the car.)

Hello, I would like to tell you a little about my Dad, Cecil Earl Hartley, 1902-1973. Prior to 1923 Dad worked for Kelly-Springfield Tire Company in Ohio as his first "off-the-farm" job. I believe he said he was 16 or 17 years old. (Just for info K-S Tire Co. added "The" to their name in 1935. My Dad's first job in 1923 was with Hudson-Essex, Princeton IN. From Aug 1923 (I have his handwritten work record) through July 1926 he worked in Evansville, IN for Graham Brothers Truck. His last employment was with Chrysler Defense Engineering a new division started in 1953, which moved him that year, from Chrysler Headquarters, Dodge Truck Division in Highland Park, MI to a building located in Centerline, MI which was one of the Mopar Parts Division buildings. His team worked on the prototypes of and the parts inspection for U.S. Army tracked vehicles which included the M-60 Main Battle Tank and the Tank Retriever Vehicle. He retired from Chrysler employment in 1962 at the age of 60 due to a company policy that mandated "60 and out" for supervisors so that younger men could advance to supervisory positions earlier than was the norm at that time. I have an album of his pictures, covering several activities, including a trip in 1925 to the USSR for an International Motor Contest.

George Morales' 1929 Model 612 Graham-Paige

The 1929 Graham Paige bought April 1997 in Freetown, Ma. Shipped to Boqueron Beach, PR where it went into an intense restoration. The fun part about its restoration is finding these precious Graham-Paige parts throughout the world and especially in Canada. My best regards and Thanks to Bill Conley, Jack Sill and Michael E Keller for lending a hand when needed. Here are some of the photos made during and after restoration. This car is about 98% finish to the Authentic. It has taken a lot of precious time restoring, that's because I like taking my time working on it, to do it right. The weather here in Boqueron Beach, PR is a comfortable 80 sunny degrees all year around, and the Graham likes it that way under the garage roof and shade. No more icy rain or freezing cold weather, for the 80 years old GP612.

A Trinity of 612s

It has been suggested that I share several photos of my model 612 collection with those who frequent our club site. I am happy to oblige.

I have owned the 1930 First Series sedan since 1975. Originally sold at a Graham-Paige dealership only fifty miles from my Wisconsin home town. I am the third owner. After several years of dependable service (if not smoke free), I completely disassembled the car and restored it as closely as possible to showroom originality. Its hue is Graham-Paige Blue, just as it was when it was driven off the assembly line.

My 1929 Second Series roadster was purchased in 1997. Unfortunately, the motorcar was in a deplorable state. With only six 1929 model 612 roadsters known, I felt a proper high-point restoration was mandated. After almost four years in a professional restoration shop, the project was completed in 2006. Again, the car was restored to as close to showroom condition as possible. The hue, Crater Smoke Gray, was an optional color for Second Series Model 612 roadsters in 1929.

The 1930 First Series business coupe was purchased in January of 2009. Although the car has not yet been fully restored, it is extremely solid and rust-free. Directly after purchase, the wood spoke wheels were refinished and new tires installed. A bit of work on the business coupe’s mechanical systems were in order, but it now drives as well as my sedan and roadster. At sometime in the 1950s, a less than diligent owner painted the body a sort of green. (Business coupes came from the Warren Avenue assembly line in 1929 wearing a much deeper green, Seabrook green). Regardless, I was elated to have this unrestored business coupe join the sedan and roadster-each is a joy to drive and a sterling example of the legacy of the three Graham brothers. (Interestingly, research has revealed my “new” coupe to be the only 1930 Model 612 business coupe extant.)

As an aside, the last photo is an image of my sedan as it was prepared for filming in the John Dillinger film, Public Enemies.

A Graham-Paige from South Africa

Hi. I thought of sharing our GP with you all the way from South Africa, my dad and I are keen collectors of old classics. The GP had quite a history and was with a family for over 60 years until we bought it from them about 9 years ago. The car was standing in their garage for the last 10 years without taking it out, the car was standing with flat tyres on the cement but in the same condition as you can see from the pictures, we just put petrol in and crank the engine a few times and the beautiful noise of the straight 6 could be heard. We have endless fun with it over weekends, although very thirsty. My dad is sitting on side rail of the car and this one is probably one of his favourites. We don't know of any other GP's in South Africa and it will be interesting to know if there is more GP's around here. We are part of Benoni Heritage Vehicle Club (BHVC) here in South Africa and are on the net for those who are interested to know what is happening down under. I hope you guys are going to have great fun in June with your show, and maybe we will see you next time around. Greetings Morne and Ben du Toit

1933 Graham

I got the vehicle almost 2 years ago from the owners widow Ruth Sheplear, who had it in a garage for almost 20 years in Burbank Ca. the vehicle was in the great race that took place From Los Angeles to Indianapolis in 1984. After removing it from storage, unfreezing the engine and replacing the head gasket, it ran great!!! Its being used as a background vehicle in a movie called "changeling" directed by Clint Eastwood. Although being a Ford and Chrysler product collector for a long time, I really have to say these cars were too advanced for their era and posses a great deal of distinction and charm. Best regards, Albert Rojas

Attached are two pictures of 1941 Graham Hollywoods. The first was owned by my father, Floyd Coleman in 1943. Sixty-two years later he got another one. This one is in original condition with 73000 miles on it. It was in Paris, France until 1969 and then in the New England area and then to Florida recently.

Those are my parents with their Graham Paige. Year 1932 in Spain.

This GP Model 629 Seven Passengers was bought new in Quebec City by my maternal Grand Father in April 1928. During my younger years, I stayed with my grand parents and was part of almost every sortie of the car and in fact used to kneel on the front seat and actually "drive" the car (steering wheel only, of course) . These were my first car driving lessons. The car logged 180,000 miles staying on the road as the family car until 1953. It was then stored near Quebec City and I ran it again in 1967, then for my marriage in 1969, and a few times after that. In 1988 I moved it to a Aircraft Hangar near Chicoutimi Quebec where it still is. The car is original. The more recent photos were taken at an air festival at the airport on June 24 2007. It was towed from the hangar to the show but I am presently taking care of a little number of issues to have it running by itself within a few days.
