The Blue Streak represents an import shift in automotive design history and is significant as one of the best restored examples of this innovative model. When the Blue Streak was released in 1932, the Graham company incorporated streamlined styling by Amos Northup. The laid-back grille, body-colored headlights, wrap around “skirted” fenders, pearl-essence paint and a totally concealed frame, were all elements quickly adopted by other automakers. In 1933, the Blue Streak was touted as, “the most imitated car on the road.” Furthering the important place in history, the Blue Streak was engineered with an innovative banjo-style frame where the axle ran between split frame rails lowering the car’s overall stance and improving its handling characteristics over its contemporaries.

This example owned by the N.B. Center for American Automotive Heritage has been meticulously restored and is one of the best remaining examples of the groundbreaking Graham design. NHVR No. 19 HAER No. PA-654
