The Graham 97 Supercharged is a distinctive "sharknose" Model 97 car from 1938-1940, known for its radical, aerodynamic design and innovative supercharger, offering about 116 horsepower from its inline six-cylinder engine. It had a 3-Speed Manual Transmission.

Initially, the supercharger was only available on the eight-cylinder models, but then the eights were dropped for 1936, the supercharger was adapted to the six. By the time Graham ceased automobile production, they had produced more supercharged cars than any other automobile manufacturer until Buick surpassed them in the 1990s.

The 1938 Graham automobiles were introduced with the slogan 'Spirit of Motion,' as the entire design appeared to be in motion even while standing still. Many European coachbuilders would draw inspiration from Northrup's aerodynamic liens as their muse, including Jacques Saoutchik of Paris.

While the Model 97 was available in various forms, the 1938 Graham 97 Supercharged Cabriolet by Saoutchik is a particularly notable example, featuring custom bodywork, cantilevered doors, and a folding windscreen. 

The Northup-designed automobiles were inspirational and unique, but the sales were dismal. Unable to retool, Graham joined resources with the ailing Hupp Motor Company in late 1939. Unfortunately, despite positive public response, the car they built ended up having worse sales for both Graham and Hupmobile than either firm's respective preceding models.
