I rather like the classic looks of this dry lakes racer. While designed for straight line speed, it has a short wheelbase and shortened tail which should indicate good cornering ability.

Cute as a button!

@jack-dodds That four door Graham is a looker!

John, This one is compelling. Talk about an early hot rod, this qualifies. An early flathead, overhead valve addition, headers, 2 carbs, wow! I'd love to hear this one run. Thanks for sharing this one!

very interesting choice John. To my untrained eye the car looks like a snazzy late 30s 2 seater sports car, with a very unique front end grill. I like the near last line in the commentary "Indeed, it could well be considered a forerunner of the high-quality customization efforts that would help make Hot Rodding a serious business after the war ended."

@jack-dodds My very first thought Jack.
