Projects Pics of my 1922 franklin hope you enjoy

Thank you belair

 

Thank you graham

 

Thank you squirrel I do have it listed in the h.h.franklin web site to.

 

Cool car and to be able to get it fired up and post a video of it running.

That's one of those cars that is a bit unreal on it's own and too interesting to ever want to modify.

 

Great Find! Lots of Luck. I love that windshield!

 

probably the most successful air-cooled car--after the beetle!

 

That's super cool.

 

Thank you

 

Thank you we will keep you up to date on the progress.

 

Thank you it is a very nice air cooled car

 

I love that engine shot in post #34. Looks like a giant, mutant Briggs and Stratton after some atomic apocalypse.

 

Ya know, everybody sayin restore it just shows the integrity and honesty here on the HAMB.
You can get that up-n-runnin and pretty well finance a nice rod project.
Good Job.
P.S, restore it, and start a rod project from scratch. How many people have a Franklin for the right price?.

 

Very cool car made just 15 minutes from where I live. Thanks for saving it!

 

Awesome! Were those things air cooled?

 

Yes they are air cooled

 

I know big motor with little horse power top speed 45 mph

 

Your welcome will post more when I get it done

 

Didn't these have all aluminum bodies? That may explain the excellent condition.

 

Me Too! Cars the movie. Excellent find, thanks for sharing!

 

Can you post the video somewhere other than Facebook for us non-conformists?

 

That is a beautiful vehicle!
Most awesome trade!! I would love to see that in person.

 

It is posted on the franklin web site at h.h.franklin

 

Just got the tires for the franklin every thing is coming together.

Thanks to all that like the car we will keep you posted looking to take it for a ride by the week end.

That is so awesome! What a find. I was at a local cruise night last summer and this old dude comes driving in in his totally stock and original Franklin. Very cool to learn all about them. I am amazed at the great ideas that old cars possess.

 

Video doesn't work. HRP

 

Nice Franklin!! My dad had a model T chassis with a franklin engine on a tower in the front and a propeller on it. He called it the wind wagon. LOL.

 

what a cool car, and to find it in this condition...

It's almost strange to hear a bunch of HAMBers say to keep it stock/restore it... but guess I'm one of them. too cool and too complete to hot rod it
