1941 Graham Hollywood

Rare Prewar Styling. Cord Heritage. Modern V8 Power. A Graham You Can Actually Get Out and Enjoy.

Few automobiles from the early 1940s have a story—or a shape—quite like the Graham Hollywood. Born from the famous Cord 810/812 design lineage, the Hollywood carried dramatic streamlined styling into one of the most unusual chapters of American automotive history. This 1941 example retains that unmistakable character while adding a Chrysler 340 V8, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and several thoughtful upgrades for modern driving. Finished in Cream over a Beige leather interior, it is a multiple first-place show trophy winner that can still be driven and enjoyed today while offering its next owner plenty of opportunity to continue refining it over time.
