1936 Graham Supercharged

Ok this is the short version of the story...

Few weeks ago we went looking @ tag sales, my dad saw this car in a barn and questioned the owned about it, it was a "1936 Graham Cavalier Supercharged".

My dad asked how much and the guy damn near GAVE it to him, he paid $300.00 (USD) now it needs some work, mostly a good paint job, the hardest thing about this restoration will be the interior though we had it priced out and the lady will do it for $2,000.00 (USD).

Here are a few pictures of a similar car, my dads will be the same just closer to a power blue.

P.S. Go ahead and google it, check out how much the car is work in comparison to what we paid

Let me know what you think!

Thats what I was referring to. I like to see the "before" pics before the restoration has started.
