...alas, another story!  (I sure have a lot of backstories, don't I... ) 

LSS: My high school sweetheart's father (a car guy ) had - among his collection - a 1938 Graham that he was restoring.    One summer, he had completed the running chassis; as we watched him drive around the subdivision I began singing, "Greeeeeen Acres is the place for me, faaaaarm liv'n is the life for me..." 

Rich, you have a great looking model!  😀 😀 😀

This one was always on my radar but I never pulled the trigger.  Wish I had.  Great pics.

My first intro to this art deco design was when Brooklin did their first Graham Shark Nose.  I thought it was weird and not exactly pretty  but changed my mind when they switched from their original tan color to dark metallic grey.

LoL!   Actually, we got along pretty good - he was a Police officer, so I didn't **** around too much. 🙄   I had a wonderful reunion with that girl and her family (20 years after we broke up ).  When I saw him, he extended his arm for a handshake.  I said, "A handshake won't do it,"  and hugged him instead.
