The favorite car we ever owned was a 1926 Franklin that my parents got in 1935 and sold in 1957 when I was 12 years old. Imagine my surprise when a man phoned me a couple of weeks ago and asked "Did your family own a 1926 Franklin?"
He had found some old registration papers in the door panel with my father's name on them and checked the local phone book and found my name and called me because he is restoring the car and wanted to learn some history about it.
I went to his place and got a few photos of the disassembled car and I will get more as the restoration process goes along.
The last photo is a similar restoration and how he intends for it to look when he is finished except for a different color.
I bet most people don't know what the handle by the horn is for.
