Gb Graham Brothers 1920s? Hub Cap Grease Cap Dust Cover Wheel Center on 2040-parts.com
Juliustown, New Jersey, US
Here is a Graham Brothers wheel/axle cover.
It was found in the ground in our yard in NJ. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham-Paige,
this item could be from 1920’s (possibly 1922?). After successful involvement in a
glass manufacturing company (eventually sold to Libbey
Owens Ford) brothers Joseph B. Graham (September 12, 1882–July 1970),
Robert C. Graham (August 1885–October 3, 1967) and Ray A. Graham (May 28,
1887–August 13, 1932) began in 1919 to produce kits to modify Ford Model Ts
and TTs
into trucks. That led to the brothers building their trucks using engines of
various manufacturers and the Graham Brothers brand. Eventually they
settled on Dodge
engines, and soon the trucks were sold by Dodge dealers. The Grahams expanded
from beginnings in Evansville, Indiana, opening plants in 1922 on
Meldrum Avenue in Detroit, Michigan of 13,000 square feet (1,200 m2),
and in 1925 in Stockton, California. The Canadian market was
supplied by the Canadian Dodge plant. Dodge purchased the Graham Brothers truck
firm in 1925, and the three Graham brothers took on executive positions at
Dodge. The Graham Brothers brand lasted
until 1929; Chrysler Corporation having taken over Dodge
in 1928. I saw another listing with the GB
logo but also with DETROIT written on it. So, this one is one made early on. So
I am thinking this was part of the “kits” for model T’s they made early on or
when they opened their plant in 1922 under their own brand. If you have any information or questions,
please email me. I do not know anything more than what I have written. Thanks for looking.

Mon, 03 Mar 2014The Fiat 500 CULT (pictured) arrives to top the 500 range The revived Fiat 500 has been with us for some time as Fiat’s take on the MINI retro revival, and it’s still appealing and relevant. It’s already spawned a convertible 500, Abarth 500, 500L and the soon to arrive 500X (which will also spawn the new Jeep Renegade) and now it’s time for a bit of a minor upgrade and makeover for 2014. Headlining the new offerings for the 500 for 2014 is the arrival of the Fiat 500 CULT to top the range, taking the Lounge Spec and adding in stuff like new 16″ alloys, fixed glass sunroof, Blue&Me, Chrome detailing, rear parking sensors and leather interior.
