| for a number of years on aircraft engines and therefore its design should present no difficulties. we are familiar with its design. The Graham engineers impress one as being practical individuals who have not rushed light heartedly into production but are convinced that the application stands a reasonable chance of success. They also intend to maintain a high standard of silence on the units. The two cars I tried were almost equally silent. Unfortunately, apart from the engine unit, the Graham is not in step with the best contemporary American practice, in particular its directional stability is inadequate for its top road speed. The complete 8 cyl supercharged car with a 4 door sedan body sells in the States for just under 1200 $ | ||
