Air cooled beauty (that's right, no radiator) manufactured in Syracuse, NY. Original! $3000 in 1919 adj. for inflation ~$300,000 today. Gramps was doing Ok in 1919
Amazing been with one family it,s whole life! I sincerely the next generation will carry on and continue the good work! Not great braking system!! I am surprised that uprated brakes were not an option when it was new, maybe they were?? Choose a lowish gear for going down that mountain and let your engine control the speed. VERY very nice car, especially being with one family it,s ENTIRE lifetime!! I would run upper cylinder lubricant in the petrol to help the top end ( i use it in my own cars by choice just to be a little kinder to the engines ) Jonathan W ( he has a well known youtube channel ) he has a Franklin similar to this but Jonathans Franklin is not restored.
