Amos Northup of Murray Body was hired to design a new model for 1938. Unfortunately, he died before the design was complete. It is believed the final design was completed by Graham engineers.[2] The new 1938 Graham was introduced with the slogan “Spirit of Motion”. The fenders, wheel openings and grille all appeared to be moving forward. The design was widely praised in the American press and by American designers. It also won the prestigious Concours D’Elegance in Paris, France. Wins were also recorded in the Prix d’Avant-Garde at Lyon, the Prix d’Elegance at Bordeaux, and the Grand Prix d’Honneur at Deauville, France.[3] Its cut-back grille later gained the car the name “sharknose”, which appears to have origins in the 1950s. The styling was a complete flop in sales, and Graham limped through 1939 and 1940.
