The Graham Automobile Company was established in Brooklyn, New York, in 1902. The company produced a small two-seater vehicle characterized by its piano-box type frame and a 3-horsepower air-cooled single-cylinder engine. This model featured chain drive and tiller steering, with the notable ability to be started from the seat.
In 1903, Charles Sefrin acquired the company and subsequently rebranded it as Charles Sefrin & Co. Under his leadership, the vehicle's engine was upgraded to a slightly more powerful 3.5-horsepower Thomas engine. The following year, Sefrin expanded the product line by introducing a 9-horsepower tourer, which was also renamed to reflect the new branding. The Graham Automobile Company, though short-lived, contributed to the early automotive landscape in the United States.
