1931 Graham Model 621

The Graham Brothers, Joseph, Robert, and Ray had made a sizeable fortune in glassmaking by inventing the process for making bottles with a crown strong enough to use metal caps. They sold their business and eventually became the 'O' in LOF. Their next venture was in manufacturing kits to convert Ford Model Ts into trucks using Dodge engines. Trucks of their own design were sold through Dodge dealers and their company was acquired by Dodge Brothers. When the Dodge brothers passed away, the Grahams decided to enter the automobile business in 1927 by acquiring Paige Motors. During the depression years, the company struggled and eventually was the basis for the formation of Kaiser-Fraser Motors after World War II.

The Graham Company produced the Model 621 Special Six for only one year, 1931. Power was from a six-cylinder engine that displaced 288 cubic inches and produced 97 horsepower. The car had a wheelbase that measured 121 inches and sold for $1,595.
