This looks like a highly customized Graham Hollywood. Be interested in learning more…
I was really hoping Mr. Wigton would show us how “easy” these are, but yes, you are almost correct Roger. It is a 1939 Graham-Paige ‘Spirit of Motion’ aka “The Sharknose.” The “Hollywood” came a year later, and after that they stopped building cars and carried on as a tank builder (a growth industry in the 1940s!)
