[Fraudulent Activity]

That 14 T for sale looks like a 1917 to me.

[Franklin trunk]

The 25 owners manual states "trunk in the English coaching manner". I like the design.

[NorthEast starter/generator]

We finally have the 21 9B touring back. It was running fine at first but now we are having problems with the starter/generator. It has quit charging. Do any Franklin mechanics know who can rebuild this? Could it be the brushes? thing? Could it be the brushes?

[12 volt Dyneto starter/generator]

Does anyone service the Dyneto starter generators? I would like someone to check out the one in our 1921 Franklin. Dave

[series 9B spark plugs]

What series Splitdorf spark plugs were used in the 9B Franklins?

[Original 1915 Model T Aluminum Hood]

[Forum Member and AACA Past President Earl Beauchamp, Jr. Has Passed Away]

I met Earl over 60 years ago. We used to have lunch together, when we worked at Fort Meade, Md. We got the idea of starting a club for the cars of the 30s and 40s at these lunch time meetings. We founded the CHVA in 1967, Earl was CHVA # 1 and I was CHVA # 2.  The last time I talked to Earl was at the AACA spring national in Gettysburg. Earl was admiring my 33 Franklin Olympic in the HPOF class.  Earl can not be replaced, he was one of a kind.  Dave Phillips CHVA #2.

[starter bendix spring]

Thanks for all the good info. I have looked up info on the Ford Bendix spring part # B11375. The "pigtails" on the Ford part are in line with each other. The spring pigtails on mine are offset bt about 90 degrees.  The starter is a Delco 723-C which shows as the correct starter in the service bulletins. Am I going to have to change the entire Bendix assembly?  Also, the spring will not come off. I tried a few taps with a hammer. I am going to need a bigger hammer!  That is why I may have to cut it off. What do you think? Dave

[starter bendix spring]

1. The 33 Franklin Olympic has been giving lots of trouble. The starter quit. Just getting it out was a job. But the Bendix spring appears to be   distorted and I can't get it off of the shaft.  It is a delco starter but I don't have any springs that look like this one. Dave Phillips

[1915 Hudson 6-40]

Thanks for the reply. No luck with the Hudson club. Hudson 6-40s are few and far between. Dave

[1915 Hudson 6-40]

Need water outlet for 1915 Hudson 6-40. Can this part be cast? Original piece full of pinhole. Dave

[35 Ford gas tank]

The tank is out. My grandson used a plumbers wrench and the collar unscrewed perfectly. Dave

[35 Ford gas tank]

My grandson and I are trying to get the gas tank out of our s5 sedan. I've been told that the filler neck unscrews from the tank. Is this true? I hope so because I can't see any other way that tank would come out. Dave Phillips

[distributor cap]

We are looking for a distributor cap for our 21 series 9B.  The tag on the side of the distributor looks like it says AK   CAF. Here are some photos. Dave Phillips

[winter fronts]

Has anyone considered duplicating the early V8 winter fronts. Like the 35 pictured. Dave

[Period images to relieve some of the stress]

That hump-backed Ford in the traffic circle is a 1935. You can see the outside horn. 36 did not have them.

[1925 Franklin Atwater Kent RA Distributor and parts]

I would like to purchase the 25 Franklin distributor. Grandson has a 25 coupe and I have a 27 sedan. How do I contact you?? Dave Phillips

[Do you have a four legged garage helper?]

Eddie has 3" hill hounds" and they love to "help" in the garage and love rides.  Here's the 3 in Eddie's 25 Franklin , Jesse in my 15 T and all 3 under the 15.

[1935 steering column colour]

What is the colour of the steering column on my 35 sedan. Is this paint available? Dave

[my high school car... do I want another one?]

I bought my first car in 1962 and it was an antique to start with! My dad and I drove that old Ford regularly for several years. The most memorable trip was a Christmas trip up the the Jersey shore in a heavy snow storm. The Lakehurst highway had not been plowed and the Ford went right through with out any problems. I still have my Ford and it shares garage space with 2 Franklins, a 1915 Hudson and a 1915 Model T 

[1915 6-40]

Yes, it's a 7 passenger touring. Apparently there is no engine number. It starts when we put gas in the priming cups but won.t keep running. Probably a carb issue. Dave Phillips

[1915 6-40]

The paper work on my car shows a number 84924. Is that an engine number or a serial number. If it is an engine number, where is it Dave\

[Bausch and Lomb headlight lenses]

Tom, yes we are interested in the lenses. Eddie's 25 still has one lens in 3 pieces , held together with tape. Do you know how to send a personal message with a price? Dave

[another weekend with no car shows]

The weather has been too wet in Maryland this year. We did have a few days where the sun came out and we got the Franklins and the Ford out. People love seeing the older cars, it,s a morale booster. Plus you always have someone who wants to go for a ride.
