Dudley, the new owner sure did some detective work to find you. That's an awesome piece of automotive history and family history. I know you will want to follow every detail of the restoration. Do you know if Leno has one of those in his collection?
Jim, Leno has a 1915 Franklin in his collection. The largest collection of Franklins that I know of is in the Franklin museum in Tuscon AZ. The times I passed through Tuscon I did not know about it. Now I can't wait to go to Tuscon again to see it.
I offer the following info to further complete the history of the Franklins in our family. My parents bought two of them. They dismantled one to make a trailer out of it. I still have some of the parts as seen in the first photo. The story of what they used the trailer for is in the second photo.
