Take a look at this STUNNING !! - EXTREMELY RARE - FRAME OFF RESTORED - STEEL BODY AND FENDERS - ONE OF A KIND 1940 Graham Hollywood Custom Limousine !! We recently purchased this Custom Hollywood Limo from the previous Oregon owners who bought it in 2002 and as you can tell in the pictures and video it was their pride and joy !! The previous owners found this car hidden under several car covers in the corner of a Jewish donation lot in Los Angeles, California. They uncovered the car, opened the doors and noticed the signature of "Mae West" was embroidered into the carpets. That was the moment they knew this car was something special. The donation center explained that the car was donated from the estate of Mae West who had a home in the area. The husband proceeded to purchase the car and neglected to mention it to his wife. After secretly storing it in a rental property for 2 years they decided to have the car restored. The PROFESSIONAL FRAME-OFF restoration took more than 16 years and over $100K to complete !! It has only been driven 482 miles since the restoration was completed. I drove this car for the last several weeks as my daily driver and I assure you it runs and drives VERY WELL !! It is a sweet driver in town and cruises down the freeway easily and smoothly. Everywhere I drive this car people want to take pictures of it and talk to me about it. If you can make it to Boise please come take a look at and drive this BEAUTY for yourself, you won't be disappointed. This is a QUALITY CUSTOM LIMOUSINE THAT IS READY TO DRIVE, SHOW AND ENJOY !!

At the heart of this Hollywood Limo is a VERY STRONG - BUILT - Code "10066036" - 350 CID Edelbrock Crate V8 motor that is running VERY well. The motor also sports an Edelbrock Performer EPS 4 barrel aluminum intake manifold, Edelbrock polished aluminum valve covers, Stainless Steel "Ram Horn" exhaust manifolds, Edelbrock Performance 4 barrel carburetor with electric choke, MSD ignition, Heavy Duty aluminum radiator and an Edelbrock Performance polished aluminum air cleaner !! Sounds GREAT too with the THROATY custom 3 inch true dual exhaust system with dual chrome tips. The engine is backed by a SMOOTH - REBUILT - TH-350 Turbo Hydra-Matic 3 speed automatic transmission that also functions very well. The BEAUTIFUL !! - ALL NEW - CUSTOM - Tan Leather and Vinyl Real Wood Grain accented luxury Limousine interior is in VERY NICE condition including VERY NICE NEW Tan Leather front bucket seats, VERY NICE NEW Tan carpets, VERY NICE NEW Matching Tan Leather and Real Burled Maple accented door panels, VERY NICE CUSTOM Tan Vinyl and Champagne Metallic center console, VERY NICE CUSTOM Real Burled Maple dash, VERY NICE CUSTOM Stewart-Warner gauge clusters, VERY NICE CUSTOM Billet and Wood Grain steering wheel, VERY NICE NEW Tan Vinyl headliner, VERY NICE CUSTOM Real Burled Maple rear bar and entertainment center, VERY NICE NEW Tan Leather rear bench seat and a VERY NICE CUSTOM Tan Vinyl dash pad !! All of the black rubber weatherstripping is soft, supple and in NEW condition. The GORGEOUS - CUSTOM - Champagne Metallic exterior finish is EYE POPPING BEAUTIFUL !! showing some very small chips and imperfections that have been touched up but still looks STUNNING as you can clearly see in the VIDEO & 100+ ADDITIONAL PICTURES !! This Graham comes nicely equipped including Custom "Vintage Air" air conditioning that has been serviced with R134A and blows ICE COLD !!, Power Steering, CPP Power Brakes with discs up front, Front & Rear Power Windows, Good Heater & Defroster, Power Center Privacy Window & Divider, Custom Overhead and Floor Mood Lighting, Front & Rear Seat Warmers, Power Wipers, Original Dual Chrome Side View Mirrors, Custom Stewart-Warner Gauge Cluster with Voltage / Fuel / Water Temperature / Oil Pressure Gauges and a 160 MPH Speedometer, Tilt Steering Column, Front & Rear Seat Belts, Front Pioneer Digital  AM / FM / Bluetooth / CD Player Stereo with Custom Back-Up Camera, Rear Sony Digital AM / FM / Aux / CD player / Stereo Radio with Dual Polk-Audio Mid Range Speakers and a Custom Fold-Down Flat Screen TV with DVD Player !! This Hollywood Limo has STUNNING looks and more custom features than most luxury aircraft... what's not to like ?!     

The suspension and drive line seem to be in good working order as well as the electrical system. Check out the AWESOME - CUSTOM Chrome Wire Wheels wrapped in BRAND NEW wide whitewall steel belted radial tires, they look OUTSTANDING on this Hollywood Limo and really gives it that CLEAN "Custom" - look !! All of the CUSTOM Chrome and Stainless Steel exterior body trim and moldings are in VERY NICE condition including VERY NICE CUSTOM Chrome rear bumpers, VERY NICE CUSTOM Chrome grill and VERY NICE ORIGINAL Style Graham Chrome headlight housings. The CLEAN - SOLID trunk also sports a CUSTOM Tan Vinyl liner and the trunk mounted battery. All of the CUSTOM light lenses are also clear, bright, UNCRACKED and BEAUTIFUL !!
