Graham Brothers Truck Company

from Evansville Indiana to everywhere.

Trucks Commercial Cars and Motor Coaches

"After successful involvement in a glass manufacturing company (eventually sold to Libbey Owens Ford[1]) brothers Joseph B., Robert C., and Ray A. Graham 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 on Cherokee Lane 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 1928 when Chrysler Corporation took over Dodge."
