Very nice video. I grew up hearing about Franklins, as my grandfather had three of them in succession, the last one being a '28. After Franklin stopped making cars, he went to Chryslers.
I went to the high school that sits where the Franklin factory once stood. Fowler High. I grew up in Syracuse NY in the neighborhood of past great minds like C.E. Lipe, John Wilkinson and H.H. Franklin . Been in alot of the old abandoned buildings that these men did some of their greatest work in, as a kid to. Not realizing what they were, or the history they held, until years later.
My great grandfather, John G. Halstead, was a foreman in the Franklin Auto Works in 1904-07. He contracted Scarlet Fever in 1907 and died, age 35, unfortunately. He was buried on that same day in Lysander.
the south geddes st. location was actually the engine plant, my father (the story teller) when i was a little boy whenever we drove past that location told me about how engines were smuggled out of the plant on rafts on onondaga creek that ran under the plant, this "story" seems to hold water because this same story has been passed by many a oldtimer over my 59 years living in the area..................
Great stuff. I sold my Series 10 to a guy that found a good frame. The car I got initially was an old wreck from middle California that I only got running. Someone had driven it on the rims and they were crinkled! No body so I wanted to make a speedster. It's probably back on the road now in Southern California. Thanks, Paul
Very nice museum, perfectly restored amazing cars and very knowledgeable tour guides.

Thanks for the informative video👍
Very nice museum, I have visited it twice personally. I also own a 1929 Victoria Brougham.
The Northeast Classic Car Museum in Norwich NY also has a large collection of Franklins 🙂
Jonathan W (TH-cam channel) has a 1927 Franklin. I did some welding
and machining on a Levett piston that was from the engine to repair it.
Very nice and a Thumbs Up liked.
Very interesting video!
Great video on uncommon marque.
Why did you say trains were air conditioned ?
I had once looked at buying a 1922 Franklin 4dr. Ended up getting a model A
We sold our 34 black hardtop Franklin in 1988 to a fellow that came from Ohio with a pick up truck and a open flatbed trailer down to Davie fl
Do you have an address where to buy this fuel injection system, Dynatek was also selling these kits but they seem out of business!
