Vehicle Rarity

History of the 1930 Graham Limousine

In 1930, in the depths of the Great Depression, Graham was struggling and was trying to do anything to sell cars. At that point, Graham decided to try to enter the luxury car business to stimulate sales. They coach-built 10 limousines. After the construction of these limos, Graham found that the Continental engines they were using were not sufficient to pull a car of this size. At that point, Graham approached the Cord Auburn Duesenberg Company and ordered 10 Lycoming engines specially built to Graham’s specifications. These included four-speed transmissions. This power plant proved sufficient to handle the weight of these limousines.
