Cord/Graham Conversion
I have an extra 4-door Cord 810/812 lying around. Has anybody ever tried converting it into the Graham Hollywood? I found information that the hood and the front fenders were slightly changed, but how exactly? The undercarriage is different, as it is a rear-wheel drive, but I don't care about that. So what needs to be changed? Was Brooklin's Hollywood Convertible based on the same mould as the Hupmobile, which in turn, if I remember correctly, was based on MM43/Western Cord?

hupmobileskylark.com has a host of information that should help you. Good luck!

Brooklin's Graham did come off their Hupmobile mold.
I can see absolutely no resemblance between the MMQ Cord and the BRK Hupmobile nor had I ever heard any suggestion that this was the case. The fender shapes, windshield and doors are all different.

If you mean the differences? Yes.
