Experimental Cars.

We are proposing to hand the Graham-Paige over to Sales Dept. for disposal.

In view of the fact that we have decided to hold up all supercharging work for the time being, this car will be out of date before any of our schemes get on the road.

We are also handing 28-EX over for disposal. This is up to the last standard of Phantom II's being sold, and in addition has hydraulic tappets. We recommend that the hydraulic tappets be removed before the car is sold.
