Holbrook Company

Harry F Holbrook and John D Graham set up this business to make custom automobile bodies on the west side of New York City in 1908.

Holbrook left the business in 1913 and Jack Graham became sole owner and began attracting more orders from Packard's New York branch.

The growing order book demanded more shop space and though extra premises were found a mile away it became necessary to move bodies from one shop to the other to get them finished.

They also built some notable phaetons for display at Automobile Salons.
