Oooh, beautiful. I would love to be able to drive something like this.

(whistles) That's a gorgeous piece of steel, that is!

Very nice

Oh my goodness it is incredible.

Ooof. Look at those curves!

Lovely automotive rendering. You should do more of those.

Very nice work, she is lovely.

Very good ride, were there any good ones for the poor?

Back then, people were also moaning about how they streamlined all the style out of everything.

What a sharp looking beauty!

Back when cars actually had Style they might kill you in many ways but looked great doing it.

Nor for families!

A fantastic picture of a very cool vehicle. Looks like a sports car I saw in a Jack Vettriano painting once.

Is that a V12 or a V16?

Grahams were either straight sixes, or straight eights, though you could get them with a supercharger.

I second Scott Ruggles. Graham's shark nose "Spirit of Motion" cars were a neat design (and good cars, too), but the public thought they looked freakish, so they bombed on the market. That's the trouble Graham had through the Great Depression to Pearl Harbor- They made decent low priced automobiles (for example their Standard Six sedan could be bought for as low as $500 which was an incredible bargain for a new car back then, cheaper even than Ford) but the sales just never came in. Graham threw in the towel in 1940, and switched from automobiles to tractors. Their automotive legacy features some very interesting vehicles like the 1940 Hollywood Custom Super sedan, which was a Cord Beverly sedan with some adjustments made to the body. It was a cool looking car. Draw one, Richard, please?

Also what was left of the company built the postwar Frazer automobile.

A car company that still might be around if Frazer hadn't gotten into a feud with his partner, Kaiser. Frazers, Kaisers, Kaiser-Frazers, Henry Js, man just try to find those cars anywhere. Even the National Auto Museum in Reno doesn't have any examples. The closest I've ever come to seeing one was a beautiful little red Sears Allstate two door sedan in Virginia back in the '80s. The owner had parked it in his driveway to help attract customers to his yard sale, and later, tired of folks begging him to sell it to them, he drove it back into his garage and shut the door. People were more interested in his car than what he was offering for sale on his front lawn. Here's a little trivia for you- A Henry J is visible in the first 10 minutes of This Island Earth. And, no, Exeter isn't driving it.

Hard to say. As Elon Musk is finding out, building cars is hard, and building cars to take on Detroit is even harder. Even so, Kaiser-Jeep kept going until it was sold to AMC in 1970, and Kaiser kept going in South America until the 1970s.

Interestingly, the original plan was for the Kaiser to be front drive, while the Frazer was more conventional, but they couldn't get the front drive system to work satisfactorily, so the Kaiser debuted as a Frazer with fancier trim.

I think Musk is going to have better luck building spaceships than automobiles. Kaiser-Frazer, like Tucker, is one of the great automotive what ifs- If only their front wheel drive had worked, or if the public had taken to the Traveler, a hatchback sedan that doubled as a station wagon thanks to fold-down seats, or if the Henry J hadn't gotten the reputation as a car you could lose serious social status owning ("Hey, look, ol' man McGee bought a Henry J. What a goddamn cheapskate!"), or if Sear's really had promoted the Allstate nationally in its stores instead of just a few locations down in Dixie. A successful Allstate marque could've kept K-F alive and producing cars. But this is just speculation- The reality is K-F failed, and you'll be very lucky to ever see one anywhere.

PS- One of their cars, that is.

Just a thought here- The Hollywood Speedster- That's Big Red's car.

I suppose, though I always pictured her behind the wheel of a first gen cream Lincoln Continental. In the movies, they seemed to be the official vehicle of the femme fatale.

Good point. I'd also suggest a Cord Convertible, but Cords always seem to have a masculine aura around them... A car for the menfolk not the ladies. Of course she might decide to drive around in something oddball, like the Desoto rip-off of the Chrysler Air-Flow, just to be different and avoid the usual femme fatale automotive cliches. 'Hm- If she really wanted to blow some minds, her favorite car is a 1939 Crosley. Boy, wouldn't that turn heads, especially if she was driving to the beach wearing a Jansen swimsuit, Cococabana sun hat, and shades.

The "sharknose" Graham is one of my favourite cars of its era, and how I wish they had been able to build this! You've interpreted the original design beautifully...very nice!
