History
Graham-Paige 837 Supercharged
Graham-Paige pioneered forced induction in affordable American cars with their supercharged straight-six engine. The distinctive shark-nose front styling was revolutionary but polarizing, predating similar designs by decades. Despite technical innovation including aluminum heads and sophisticated supercharging, the radical styling hurt sales. The 837 Supercharged remains a significant milestone in American automotive engineering, proving that domestic manufacturers could compete with European performance technology.
