Dwight Romberger Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Seats and steering wheel look OK, so I don't think it rolled over. I hope they were wearing seatbelts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtrooper Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Franklin about 1908-1910Thanks Layden..........Thanks guys.There is a penned account of the accident which happens on a 'test drive' right after it was 'overhauled'. The driver was 'unhurt'. The temperature was '32 degrees below zero on day of accident'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryJ Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Barrel hood ...wooden (broken ) frame...yep, it is a barrel nose Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Saxton Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The other definitive Franklin feature that is a giveaway is full elliptic springs. The headlamp fork must be nearly 12 inches, and the wheels look to be 26 -27 inch; so it is a fair size car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
