The Appeal
Originally founded on the back of a successful glass manufactory, Joseph B. Robert C. and Ray A. Graham set up the Graham Brothers brand in 1919, originally focused on adapting the Ford Model T into a series of trucks and vans, adapting the car with more powerful engines and distinctive wood-sided bodies.
By the dawn of the 20s, they had begun to focus almost exclusively on Dodge's hardy powerplants, and to great success, began selling in Dodge Dealership. In 1925, Dodge purchased the company, and the brothers even gained executive positions at the company. It's fairly obvious they knew their stuff!
This extended passenger van is a particularly fabulous example of their 1923 styling. With its rich warm woodwork, distinctive veteran aesthetics and a clean Hungarian title, this is a remarkably rare groove that's sure to attract plenty of admiring glances. This restored bus is ready and waiting for its new owner and working life.
