Graham Hollywood Supercharged

Graham's Hollywood represented a bold styling gamble with its sharknose front end featuring headlights concealed behind grille bars. The supercharged six-cylinder engine provided competitive performance despite modest displacement. Unfortunately, the radical styling polarized buyers and Graham's weakened financial position during WWII prevented recovery. Production ended in 1941, making the Hollywood one of the final products from this pioneering independent manufacturer.

$18,000 – $42,000
