This Cunningham Series V-7 Sedan is powered by a 442 cubic-inch L-head V8 engine breathing through a Stromberg carburetor and backed by a four-speed transmission. The current caretaker acquired the car in the mid-1980s from one of the dispersal auctions of the Harrah Collection. Recently it has been given an exhaustive restoration that cost in excess of $250,000. It is currently finished in dark blue and black paintwork with a tonal grey-blue interior.

The James Cunningham Company, based in Rochester, New York, transitioned from building carriages to automobiles in 1907. The cars were hand-built, and production was slow, with less than 750 cars being sold annually, but they soon gained a reputation for building high-quality, luxurious automobiles.
This Series V-7, produced between 1927 and 1929, has a Cunningham-built, cast-iron V8 with four aluminum heads delivering 106 horsepower. Series V-7s were available in a wide range of body styles, and Cunningham's clientele included Fatty Arbuckle, Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, William Randolph Hearst, and Mary Pickford. Cunningham stopped building complete automobiles in 1931 but continued to make bodies for other car manufacturers until 1936.
