Equipment
Light Yellow wire wheels, blackwall tires. Poor quality chipped old repaint, sound upholstery, good tires. Chassis is mostly original, clean and sound. Engine is clean and orderly but not restored. Can be used as is but not with much pride or confidence. Restoration, whether complete or just cosmetic, will be straightforward. No Reserve.
Market commentary
This is the second old Franklin that has crossed auction blocks recently, the other one being the 1927 that Bonhams sold in Fairfield just two weeks ago. Both were modestly priced and are far better automobiles than the money that was spent for them. This is a serious value and inexpensive entry ticket to some great events.
