Art Anderson Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Regarding a recent Under Glass post on the Beverly, you did an awesome job on casting and building the Cord sedan. -- What's the difference between the Beverly and your Westchester? -- Where can we find the sedan casting? Actually, the difference between the Cord Beverly and the Westchester is in the interior. Westchester sedans, 1936 and 1937, had wool flannel upholstery, and bench seats. Beverly's had pleated leather upholstery, in 1936 "Armchair" seats (think low arm wingback chair look on an otherwise bench seat; in 1937 customer choice between the armchair design and conventional bench seats but still with pleated leather. Bob Shelton is recasting my sedan body shells, along with the Sportsman Convertible Coupe. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordairgtar Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Do you think some Graham and Hupp front body work could be cast to create those variants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Do you think some Graham and Hupp front body work could be cast to create those variants? I used to beg my dad to stop at a really seedy used car lot every Sunday after church in Tulsa to look at a Graham. It looked exactly like this, same color but duller paint (except it had a Cadillac engine and hubcaps). In the early 60s, they wanted $1300 for it, but I wasn't of driving age. Seems like a challenging conversion forward of the cowling. I believe this was called a Graham Hollywood.

lordairgtar Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yes, Sjordan2, The work would be extensive. Would be nice to be able to build one though. The Hupp version was called the Skylark. Same basic car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
