Graham model 96 hot rod

Hot Wheels™ displayed several custom cars at the outdoor booth at the 2018 SEMA show, which included this radical Graham Model 96 “Sharknose” coupe converted to a two-door phaeton by builder and owner Steve Howard.

 

The Graham model 96 was a mid-market car priced  that for 1939 featured cutting edge “Art Deco” streamlined styling, which the builder of the hot rod expanded on the design with four-wheel fender skirts and suicide doors atop a custom frame with air suspension which drops the Graham low to the ground.

Instead of the Graham 218 cubic-inch 6-cylinder engine that developed 93 horsepower, this car is now powered by a fuel-injected Ford 302-cubic inch engine.
