The three Graham Brothers, Joe, Robert and Ray developed cabs and rear bodies to be mounted on purchased chassis units. The Graham vehicles became very popular with farmers and businesses, because of the endless applicability of the rear body design. Graham Brothers trucks were sturdy, dependable and well designed. Graham Brothers developed a partnership with Dodge in the early 1920's. The union with Dodge marked the partnership as the largest truck producer in the U.S. during its day. Graham Brother's trucks were always advanced. A Dodge four-cylinder engine with five main bearings and a 6-volt electrical system powered the 1927 Panel Van Delivery. As a welcome relief to drivers, all Graham Brothers trucks were outfitted with pneumatic tires. This 1927 Panel Van was one of the last units to be produced by the Graham Brothers. Walter P. Chrysler bought the Dodge organization in 1928, marking it as the final year of production for the Graham Brothers trucks. The 1/25 scale Ertl Collectiables 1927 Graham Brothers Panel Van Delivery is a die-cast metal vehicle available as a coin-bank or a non-bank truck. (This one is NOT a bank) High-quality features include glossy body paint, real rubber tires, and opening rear doors. A two-tone paint scheme and chrome plated accessories add character to this distinctive unit. Add this finely crafted Graham Brothers Panel Van Delivery to your Ertl Collectibles display for years of enjoyment and pride. *** View My Other Items For Sale    I list new items daily so be sure to add me to your Favorite Sellers list.
