Equipment
Dual sidemounts, wide whitewalls, Ryan lite headlamps, jump seats, varnished wood spoke wheels, luggage trunk, opening windshield, single wiper. Sound out aged older restoration showing miles. Still a very usable car for tours and presentable in local displays. Sound point with edge and corner nicks from use. Good chrome. Lightly worn upholstery. Dirty chassis needs detailing. Usable as is and will respond to a lot of elbow grease and time immersed in the details.
Market commentary
Very few people in the crowd in Branson seemed to know what a Franklin was, which goes a long way to explaining this disappointing bid.
