Neat stuff, John. I'm a big fan of the styling of the Grahams in their last years. This Model 97 Supercharger Combination Coupe used to live near me.....

@monteverde802 Wow!    I don't think I've ever seen a coupe before.     

I mentioned a while back; my high school GF's father was restoring a 1937 Graham sedan.   When the rolling chassis was drivable - he did just that.    We watched as he piloted his "frame w/wheels"  around the neighborhood.  

It was kind of a Green Acres moment,  if you know what I mean.    😏 😏

@chris Yeah. The coupes are pretty rare. I had the good fortune to catch a ride in this one a couple of times. The supercharger gave it quite a bit of pep for a small flathead six...

Gene, do you have this photo in a higher resolution? I want to use it as a desktop picture, but this one isn't scaling as nicely as I'd like. Thanks in advance!
