hot rods, built from regular roadsters etc, are very cool. But some hot rods were built from things like Pierce Arrow limos! I kids you not! Jason Graham Hot Rods started with a 1931 Pierce Arrow ex-limo

A '55 Oldsmobile was used as the donor car for many of the parts, including the engine, dashboard and several trim pieces. 

 The headlights were borrowed from a '29 Duesenberg, a '34 Chevy was given its grille which Jason modified with elements from Pierce Arrow including the radiator ornament, finally the taillights came from a '48 Hudson sedan ...and the strange steering wheel is an accessory item from a '40 Chevy “Fatman”.






jasongrahamhotrods.com isn't online anymore, probably went out of business during the covid quarantine 

Jason Graham's business was building Hot-Rods in a style rather distinct from other customs..., as is often the case with many other small automakers, he began as a teenager working in the family garage, but his life transition to ownership workshop wasn't a direct result

“I started building Hot-Rods full time about seven years after losing my regular job as a as a CAD technician. I had been building these machines as a hobby since I was 13. I eventually created my workshop in Portland, Tennessee.

 Over the years, I have acquired an excellent reputation with clients in good financial health. With my business booming, life was good, but everything changed late one night in February 2010 when the shop caught on fire. 









It was up for sale by 2020, the first owner bought it, showed it, got it into Rod and Custom Jan 2012 issue
