This 1941 Graham Hollywood 4-door sedan has been restored and given the street rod treatment with the addition of a 302 Ford V-8 and C4 automatic, according to the seller, but retains a mostly stock appearance. Like the nearly identical Hupmobile Skylark, these cars used the body dies of the 1936-37 Cord Westchester sedan from the cowl rearward, but have a shorter front clip, different front-end styling and rear-wheel drive. Find this one here on eBay in Concord, California for $59,950 or “offer.”

The Hollywood was produced only for 1940 and 1941, but like its Cord predecessor was never made in large numbers (production ended in September 1940). This car features a stock body with stock Hollywood trim and is finished in early Ford Cloud Mist Gray PPG single-stage paint. It has new glass, new rubber gaskets and bear-claw latches on all four doors, according to the seller. The seller notes some cracking in the finish, which can be seen in the photos, but the car appears to present well overall.

The redone interior features new upholstery, door panels, carpet and headliner as well as Dynomat sound insulation. Power windows have been fitted to the front doors, but the stock cranks have been retained. The dash features restored stock instruments (the fuel gauge is said to be intermittent) and a hidden underdash AM/FM/CD unit has been added. The floor-mounted 14-inch Gennie transmission shifter has a period look in keeping with the rest of the car.

The Ford 302, bored .060 over and fitted with an Edelbrock manifold and four-barrel carb, fits readily into the space originally occupied by the car’s supercharged, 124-horse, Continental six. Given the car’s near-3,000-pound curb weight, the extra power of the V-8 should make for a far more usable car in modern traffic. Other additions include Mustang front suspension with rack and pinion steering, power front disc brakes and a dual-circuit braking system.

Though purists probably won’t appreciate the non-stock drivetrain and suspension, we think they make this a Hollywood we’d be more likely to use. The car’s rarity is also an attraction. Like the seller notes, you certainly won’t be parking next to one at your next car show.
