Description

The Graham Standard Six Series 65 was introduced in 1934 as part of Graham-Paige’s mid-range offering, designed to provide a balance between affordability and performance during the challenging years of the Great Depression. It was powered by a six-cylinder engine, producing around 80 horsepower, which gave it respectable performance for its time. This engine was paired with a three-speed manual transmission, driving the rear wheels.

The car featured a more traditional design compared to the more advanced and streamlined Blue Streak models, but still benefitted from the company’s engineering improvements. The suspension was enhanced for smoother rides, and the vehicle had hydraulic brakes, which were becoming more common during the 1930s. The styling was conservative but attractive, with features like integrated headlights and a slightly more rounded body.

The Series 65 was available in several body styles, including a sedan and a coupe, and was targeted at buyers looking for a reliable family car with reasonable performance. Despite economic difficulties, the Graham Standard Six Series 65 found a market due to its solid engineering and competitive pricing. Today, the car is considered a collectible, representing an era of practical design with a touch of style.
