Graham Speedster

[Richard Bartrop]

The Cord Boat Tail speedster thread in 1:1 Reference inspired this speedster based on the 1938-39 sharknose Graham, though I did take some liberties with the proportions.  The Hollywood name wasn't used until 1940, but I thought it captured the spirit of the design.  Executed in Photoshop.

OK then...just hoping. Stay safe!

That's a beautiful design. Have you considered scratchbuilding this as a model?

I hadn't really.  I already have more than enough projects on my plate.

Cool stuff Richard! I think the sharknose works well as a boattail roadster...it definitely has that Hollywood star-power, with a dash of eccentricity.  Howard Hughes, maybe :D

I think this is nice. I am glad I took a look in here today. As misterNNL has said, another view would be nice.

I really like that the front, rear, and fender angles are all  the same- really unifies the design. What engine would this have had?

Nice rendering.  I like the concept, would be a total scratch-build.  I know someone in Prescott with a sedan that he restored, still has the supercharged engine.

Hi Richard!

Very nice and flowing. Just what some factory  designer might have designed as a "concept car" back then. You should build it!

I like it that it does not look like a digital illustration at first look. Clever design and color usage.
