A Symbol of Innovation and Efficiency

The 1937 Graham Supercharger stands as a remarkable example of American engineering and design, recognized for its innovative technology, efficiency, and luxurious appeal. In the late 1930s, Graham cars were highly regarded for their performance and cutting-edge supercharged engines, making them one of the most advanced vehicles of their time.

This particular model was an award-winning automobile, consistently praised as the most efficient car in the U.S. for several consecutive years. Equipped with a patented supercharger designed by Graham, the car delivered an impressive 106 horsepower, ensuring both exceptional performance and a smooth driving experience.

Adding to its exclusivity, the elegant and aerodynamic body design was produced only in 1937 at the Graham Brothers’ factory, making this car a rare and sought-after collector’s item today.


A Star of Czech Cinema

The Graham Supercharger was not only admired for its engineering but also gained cultural significance in Czechoslovakia, where American luxury cars symbolized prestige and elegance.

One of the most famous appearances of the Graham Supercharger was in the 1939 Czech film "Eva tropí hlouposti", directed by Martin Frič. The car was driven by legendary Czech actor Oldřich Nový, making a striking entrance in the film’s opening scene. This cinematic legacy further elevates the car’s status as an iconic and historically significant vehicle.


A Rare Survivor with a Well-Preserved History

Originally sold new at Graham France in Paris, this particular Graham Supercharger has an intriguing history. While its early ownership remains undocumented, the car reappeared in the 1960s, still in its original condition, in the possession of a Belgian collector.

Unlike many pre-war automobiles that have undergone heavy modifications, this Supercharger has remained remarkably intact, preserving its original design, mechanical components, and luxurious features. Today, it is still in fully functional condition, making it one of the few surviving examples of its kind.


A Collector’s Dream

With only a handful of these cars known to exist today, the 1937 Graham Supercharger represents a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts. Combining technical innovation, aerodynamic styling, and a distinguished cinematic legacy, this vehicle is a true testament to the golden era of American luxury automobiles.
