“Beautiful” isn’t a proper way to describe this car. It’s stunning! Back when every car was a rolling art piece instead just a few taking that title today. Great review!
ABOUT 1970..MY FRIEND BOB GREEN HAD 3 AIR COOLED FRANKLINS..ALL WITH OVERDRIVE AND SEARS AIR CONDITIONING..HE SAID AIR COOLED MOTOR WAS GREAT FOR AIR CONDITIONING..
Engines back then tended to be large to get the most power out of their low compression ratio. Fuel was low octane and of inconsistent quality and machining tolerances were not particularly tight.

Great review!
Stunning cars. 32 year my grandad was born. never knew they where aircooled till i saw the 1931 video :D
brown paint job never looked so regal till now
That's a classy ride. Someone had good taste back in the day. It's great to see these lesser-known cars documented and driven.
You’re so lucky Zack! I would love to drive one of these!
If you ever get a chance, do a review on Delahaye. They were also incredibly beautiful cars.
I’ve been watching this guy since he was on CCF, and not ONCE have I seen him shoot a car.
COLLAB WITH BERN ON CARS

Find it kind of funny that the Franklin Auto Museaum isn't in Syracuse NY. since that is where the company HQ and factory was.
Nice car
Who was the coachbuilder?
274 cubic inches translates to a 4.5 liter engine!!
