The Graham and Hupmobiles of the 1930’s were beautiful cars and very innovative. These looked at least 4 or 5 years ahead of any other car out there in 1932. About the Sears Allstate tires, Sears sold the RoadHandler tires in the 70’s and 80’s. They were made by Michelin, were considerably less than the Michelin-branded tires and were installed and serviced at Sears stores everywhere in America. All of my relatives swore by these tires, as well as the DieHard batteries.
Thank you, Jay, for featuring the beautiful Graham. I didn't know about the metallic paint. In WYR the Graham looks years ahead in styling. The later 'shark nose' Grahams are a favorite of mine as well as period Hupmobiles. Cheers!
Gorgeous car! Yeah, I share your feelings about the SS United States, but I also understand that it was long ago stripped of it's accouterments which really reduces it's desirability and commercial viability. It's a sad ending indeed!
I'm with you, Jay. These cars have a lot of amazing design features, and are very attractive overall. And I'll take the Graham in both cases. It's just so much more modern looking than any of the competition.
1. '32 Graham Blue Streak 8 - all day every day, but I would paint it the cool blue like the one you showed earlier in the vid. 2. '32 Hudson Eight. Sweet ride. Finally, this was a car that I never knew anything about, at all. So it was not a forgotten vehicle in any way - it was a never knew. Thanks for introducing me to another classic car.
Very nice video! Good job! A couple of small corrections. The picture of the black coupe used for the comparison with the 1931 and for the "which would you choose" is really a 1934 six cylinder model 68. The give aways are the steel artillery wheels, emblem, split bumper, angled back of hood, and the smoking gun is the number of hood louvers. That louver configuration was only used in the first few months of 1934. The engine picture used for the 245 CID info slide is not a Graham. Don't worry, there are VERY few people that would notice. If you ever do a follow on video, let me know. Thanks to the original owner of that blue 1933 Model 57A coupe (Bill McCall), I have hundreds and hundreds of 1932-1935 Graham pictures.
Very nice car. I like the small details, such as the pinstriping on the hood louvers. I was amazed at how wide the tires were on that car. Usually they have like a 3" tread width. Not to be a whiner, but you could have at least stuck your camera in the open driver window to get a quick look at the interior. WYR= I would take any of them, but the Graham really does look more modern than the others! NTT= a song I probably know, but can't think of it!
Hi Jay, the Graham is certainly a wonderful example of innovation in its time. I can't wait to see the many features in toto.I'd say this was a doozy, except I know the etymology of that word.
Hello Jay! Thanks for showing the DDG Graham! That manufacturer, along with Hupp, and to some extent, Hudson/Terraplane are some of my favorite independent manufacturers, mainly because of their 1930's vehicles. I really hope you can find a nice Graham of that vintage, it would be such a cool ride!! Sometimes these lesser-known vehicles can be found in some interesting places. I was at a tractor show where they always have a large flea-market and swap meet, and right there in the middle of it all was a Nash made Lafayette! So, you never know! WYR pretty easy on this one Graham on both. . . .
WYR: The Graham for both. I’ve been a fan of that make for years. Interesting to note also, the decrease in the diameter of the wheels from 31 to 32. Most of the industry was making the same change as roads became more prevalent. Thanks as always ~ Chuck
Thank you so much for sharing that insight on the wheel size that's something I didn't know great choices I think it would be really cool to own a graham
I love everything about this car and would choose it in both scenarios. It is sporty and cool. I particularly like the way the front bumper is split and the grill comes down to a point just behind it. The color is great on it too. I can see why you want one.
WYR Both scenarios, the Graham is drop-dead gorgeous. Of course, the Studebaker President Saint Regis might be a step-up, and the Packard Light Eight is at an entirely different level. I would recommend Jean Shepherd's episodic novel _In God we Trust: All Others Pay Cash_ which includes a story about the narrator's first attempt to solo in the old man's Graham-Paige, among some other stories that made it into the movie _A Christmas Story._
Every time you show a Graham I think of my father's first car which was a 1934 Graham. He bought it in 1946 when it was 12 years old, but I don't think he kept it for that many years. I never saw the car nor did he have any pictures of it.
What a beautiful car! The Graham-Paige that I think of immediately is the one that is a permutation of the Cord 810/812 body. Plus, the 'shark-nose' Graham that thumbs its nose to aerodynamics. Thanks so much, and best wishes from Texas.
@@What.its.like. Something we don't give thought to, these days, is that warranties in the time of Graham-Paige were virtually nonexistent, usually 90 days at best. I mean, imagine in the Depression when every Dollar was important. I love the idea of the small independent car companies, but when so many cars turned into orphans in those days, would you choose one of the Big Three just for security? Plus, of course, a company like Graham-Paige also didn't have thousands of independent dealers, but probably were in dealerships where more than one small brand was sold. It must've been a fascinating time; I know my grandfather and great-grandfather were always Studebaker people here in TX and LA. Thanks again for your fine videos.
I have never heard of any of these cars except the Pontiac Eight.Graham-Paige i’ve heard of,but not this particular model.I’ll take one of each please.Love the aftershow part of these videos too,with no music!.I always enjoy your videos,my favorite car channel because it’s unique!.😎
GRAHAM, HUPMOBILE and OLDSMOBILE were automobile designs ahead of there times, that is what the problem was, people needed proticality in 1932 not looks.
It is worth noting that Graham brothers brand existed as Graham until 1927 when by buying Paige it becomes Graham-Paige to drop Paige name in 1930 to call all cars Graham until 1940. It didn't help to work together with Huppmobile in 1939-1940. In 1947 it becomes part of Kaiser-Frazer. In 1953 it becomes part of Keiser-Jeep. In 1970 it becomes part of AMC. In 1988 it becomes part of Chrysler. In 2014 becomes part of FCA. In 2021 it becomes part of Stellantis.
First pick 32 Nash advanced 8, second 32 Pontiac V8 for the rarity, nice looking Graham must have lived in Texas for a while. Speaking of ships, I got tour the USS Texas, pretty big ship walking all of the decks.
WYR: All of them. Does it come in purple? I have no problem if it doesn't, but I'd love to see how purple looks on it. Speaking of the SS United States, you should do a follow-up video discussing it so people can understand what you're talking about.
I reached out to the United States Conservancy to see if I could tour it with a couple other people from meeting in the channel. There's a lot of cool stories that happen behind the scenes they declined.. I guess it's leaving November 15. I believe it's next Friday I don't have any way to get over there to see it leave which is a bummer I've contemplated the idea of doing an episode on the SS united states as like an extra episode I'm into ocean liners This car in purple would be awesome I wonder what this car would be like with a later six-cylinder that they put in the shark nose with the supercharger .. makes about the same power
@What.its.like. Dang. I'll either be headed down to deer camp or at home on Friday, so seeing that ship leave is off the table for me. When I have a job and have the cash to go places and do stuff, I'm doing a solo tour of the Queen Mary. Four steam turbines turning four propellers, and a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in the US. First sailed in 1936, and was the fastest ship at the time. I can only imagine how fast she'd go with all four engines at full throttle.
A very sleek and curvaceous car with nearly every angle blended. WYR has to go to the Graham for it's style. The Dodge van in the background could use a possum paint job 😉
I believe that "1932 Pontiac V-8" was actually a Viking V-8; when GM made it's first (non-Cadillac) V-8's, it was the Viking & Marquette wedge-head V-8 (not really an OHV, because there were no rocker arms, but not a flathead, either..). I don't believe Pontiac offered a V-8 until the 1950's.
During the live stream, all the episodes premiere live and I'm down there in the chat with you =) The next part of the conversation is with the AACA Wednesday Nov 20th 11:00 am eastern time
I proudly own a 1932 graham. It’s a 1/32 scale I believe. It’s made by tootsie toy in 1932. In a metallic red/pink color. It’s a dealer only exclusive model given out upon purchase of the real car. Super rare. I believe they only gave it to the kids of the buyer. The cars came in a red box with the logo graham on it. I should make a video on it.
Gorgeous car. Would have thought it was a ‘33, not knowing it set the style for everyone else’s 1933 model design. EDIT - haha turns out it actually IS a ‘33.😅

I really wanted to cover a shark nose this year never saw one.
Going to cover more =)

Thanks Jay. Beautiful car with fenders to match.
I love the fender to hood to ratio
What a great design

The 1932 styling drawings of the Graham are the equal of the styling drawings of the 1933 Lincon KB. And at a fourth the price.
The black Graham hands down. ✋️
Awesome =)

1932 Graham.
1932 Graham 2nd scenario. Hudson a very close 2nd.

Question. Any warranty from the factory or dealer back then?
That would be a good topic for an episode
I know some manufactures offered warranties, but it varied across-the-board

Yeah Pontiac used the Oakland v8 in 1932 before going to the straight eight in 1933, it was a unique engine with horizontal valves

Sorry my voice annoys you
Good video but had to give thumbs down because of the pornographic adds
They were fully clothed.. those were the shows back in the day
I guess I should have used Harry Houdini instead
If they were pornographic it would have been more appropriate for the recently shown Playboy.
