Many years ago there was an original that would show up to the Lime Rock Vintage Festival. It would be parked casually in the paddock with nothing to keep anyone away from it. I miss those days.
This one would be the ideal way to have your cake and eat it too.
I am amazed at how Franklins have remained under the radar for so many years. They are very sophisticated cars and advanced for the time they were made. I serviced a few for one of my clients who had a strong affinity for them. At one point he four or five in his garage.
The brakes cross reference to later Dodge parts for many of the cylinders and other pieces, making replacement relatively simple. The fact that they are hydraulic helps in everyday driving.
Some will get a great car from this auction, I hope they will enjoy and drive it.
