The Hollywood featured front-end styling by John Tjaarda, while bodywork from the cowl aft was produced using body dies from the Cord 810/812, which Graham-Paige had acquired from the Hupp Motor Car Corporation in early 1940. Production for 1940 and 1941 models was limited to five months before the company retooled in September 1940 to focus on its defense contracts.
This example received bodywork and was repainted in its current Toreador Red during its refurbishment in Canada. Features include chrome bumpers, a dual-exit exhaust system, a split rear window, rear-hinged front doors, and Hollywood Supercharged hood badges as well as bright grilles, windshield surrounds, and quarter panel stone guards.
The chrome 17″ Chip Foose wheels are mounted with 225/50 BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 tires. The Hollywood rides on a 115″ wheelbase, and modifications include Aldan adjustable coilovers, a Heidts Mustang II-style power steering rack with a GM-sourced pump, and a Borgeson steering shaft and joints. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. A replacement brake master cylinder and calipers were reportedly installed in 2021.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in black leather along with a matching headliner, door panels, and carpets. Features include dual locking gloveboxes, an under-dash air-conditioning system, and lap belts.
The Billet Specialties steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column ahead of an engine-turned dash panel housing an AutoMeter 120-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows 3,500 miles, approximately 600 of which were added under the seller’s ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The GM Performance 350ci HO Deluxe V8 features a Weiand supercharger as well as a Holley 600-cfm carburetor, a K&N air filter, and finned Chevrolet-branded valve covers. An aluminum radiator and a GM-sourced starter are also fitted.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a GM 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a differential sourced from a 1978 Chevrolet Camaro.
