Cannon Ball Baker and the Supercharged Graham



Cannon Ball (Erwin) Baker won the 1932 Mount Washington hillclimb driving a supercharged Graham. Long Manufacturing appears to have been a sponsor. Dana Long is still around, making heat exchangers.
 In 1933 he made his last cross country record run, driving the Graham across the country in 53 1/2 hours. He considered the trip a durability test. Below, Robert Graham, (senior and junior) pose with the record setters. The Graham Paige company stopped automobile production in 1940.
