Remarkably original and unmolested Graham Hollywood Custom 113, chassis 910222 for sale. If you're still reading, perhaps you are familiar about the Graham-Paige outfit and appreciate the unique parameters that make this very special car.
Please note: I am not the owner of this car but merely assisting a close friend who in his own opinion isn't too comfortable with neither Internet nor the English language. He has too many projects on his hands and has decided to let this amazing car find a new owner who can take it back to its former glory.
Short history (various online sources): Produced in 1940-41, the Hollywood was available in a standard 6-cylinder version and a supercharged version. Each engine was manufactured by Graham-Paige itself. The Graham Hollywood (custom 109 and custom 113) was produced during 1940-41 and sold only as a 1941 model. Production ended the same year with only 1859 cars built, making it a very rare car today.
This specimen, 910222, has spent most of its life in California. It was used as a daily driver up until the mid 50's and since stored in a garage. It's remarkably complete, major missing components are rear seat and front bench. Other items may be discovered to be missing – the car and all its components has not been 100% assessed. As you can see in the pictures, besides random rust spots and rust under the trunk lid/behind rear bumper, rust is at a minimum, panels are straight and the car is very solid. It was imported to Sweden, Europe by its current owner in 2014. He has since taken out the original engine (included in sale), taken it apart and completed a valve job. The car has also received new brake shoes and front spindles. Obviously, car does currently not run. Car has approved paperwork for a US car imported to Sweden, eligible for export based on said paperwork.
More information & pictures available upon request. If you are seriously interested in this rare slice of US automotive history, please contact me with your detailed questions and I'll relay them along with your contact information to the owner (I will of course also assist answering to the best of my ability).
Car is located within the vicinity of Falun, Sweden. Owner will be available in arranging & assisting with worldwide shipping, at buyers expense. Bid/buy with confidence, based on my 100% positive eBay feedback. Thanks for looking!
