Dear "Franklinists",
here in Germany I´m living in a kind of "Franklin-Diaspora", however, I stumbled across parts of a Franklin (which type...?) which I bought as I have always been fascinated by the design of Franklin cars.
I do not believe to be able to rebuild it as a Franklin, as I have no clue where to get the whole mechanic and axles. Nevertheless, I would be able to build a wooden boat tail body to which the Franklin front could be adjusted. But: I can´t get any informations about length and width of the frame. If I had these measurements, I could go for the hunt of a rolling chassis from another car make and bring it together with my Franklin parts. Alternatively, if someone knows a rolling chassis in need of restoration and available in Germany....
Can anyone provide these informations?
What would you recommend: Using the parts to create a well looking "special", or to invest in rebuilding a Franklin?
Yours, Volker
