Where is this located and why not post this on the Franklin area of the AACA Forum?

Further dimensions such as center to center of stud or bolt holes, the ID's of the hub hole and hub cap hole certainly would be helpful. These are always different from one marque to another.

Can a specific make and year(s) of vehicle be taken from the book?

I can second that,

In the late 1960's or early 1970's there was one in Chicopee, MA, at Ed Midura's Garage. It remained there after his death for a few years with his heirs. All of his other cars were sold. It may be still in the family, or somewhere in the area.

Bob, Perhaps you were thinking of Miro-Tilt headlights which had a tilting mirror in the reflector behind the bulb. It was a magnetically actuated small mirror moved from a switch on the floorboards at the driver's feet. Early 1920's Franklin's used them and perhaps other cars.

Walt's comment is spot-on with everything, including steaks.

Look at Franklin factory drawing 32538. Glass size 6" x 24"

If you are talented enough and know how to use all the tools of early automotive repair/restoration, look at the 1903 Dyke's book "Diseases of a Gasoline Automobile and How to Cure Them", the 1904 Dyke's book "The Anatomy of the Automobile, "the 1908 Dyke's book "Troubles, Remedies and Repairs of the Automobile and Gasoline Engine", the 1911 Dyke's book "Dyke's Automobile Encyclopedia" and then followed by the various annual publications of the Dyke's Automobile and Gasoline Engine Encyclopedia from 1911 on to the 1950s. In addition to these, A.L. Dyke produced working models of the major components of the automobile. No Computers needed.

Bob, Great picture of you and the grandchildren. Dick

Not everyone wants to join the "Franklin Automobile Enthusiasts" group, but they still enjoy Franklin automobiles and the pictures should be posted here regardless.

Happy days are here again, or at least semi so.

Agreed, but you see fewer of them and I forgot to include the late teens.

That arrangement is part of a wind wing bracket, probably an accessory of the mid to late 1920's.

The word is "went"!

This mystery car from page 218 is a 1903 Knox built in Springfield, MA. I'm surprised that edinmass didn't recognize it.

You would do better to post this request on the Franklin section of this AACA forum. That is a Series 10 head light from 1923 through 1925.

Gil, well said, but even though you have the route checked the week before, things can change. I know of what I speak! A property owner repainted his barn from red to blue and that happened to be a major clue on the route toward our luncheon meal. There were some unhappy and hungry people at the end of the day. I found that a map sealed in an envelope is often a good idea. If unopened, you have great tourers, if opened the laughter is unending.

Where do you live? A good sheet metal shop should be able to duplicate your original.

Thank you Bob, I agree!
