Please excuse title, this is NOT a Ford, Franklin wasn’t a listed manufacturer to choose.This very rare 1927 Franklin 11B sedan. It’s a mostly original, driving/registered car with the correct Air-Cooled in-line 6 engine and aluminum body. A few things have been touched up, but most of the original paint and the interior is unmolested. These are huge luxurious cars for their day and drive wonderfully. I’d still call this car a project because it isn’t perfect yet, but it still drives smoothly. The interior needs attention and the engine sounds like it needs a tune up, but it still happily hums down the road. All the wood looks very good and the wheels receive a coat of linseed oil regularly to keep them tight. My wife and I have been driving this car to lunch weekly and affectionately call it Franky. Hate to see it go. Local pickup is in Salinas, California but if you can arrange a courier like uship I can work with you. Clear California title. Speedo reads 36k Miles but the cable needs replacement. Reasonable offers will be considered, if you’re local come over and test drive it. |
