Here is my driver.. 1929 . I just put a 1932 Franklin fan in it. Made a world of difference in power. From 1931 on Franklins used a totally different fan that used 20 % less HP than the 1929 Fan. Makes the old girl go over every hill in high gear.

What was the odd car dad sold him? It was like a R ickenbaker or something quite scarcer.. I sold Tom some things for his Porshe speedster.

Sounds good or Ill run over the hill in my Franklin. No virus here in Livonia.... I worded with a guy in Nunda he is a retired operator heavy equipment . He lives on the family farm and hangs out a legion or vfw club drinking beer. Cant think of his name.

Hey Dalton ... Do you ever get to Livonia?? Id like to meet up some day and talk old cars. We sold cars to Tom Stamp years ago in Nunda. He was a collector and dad sold him a few cars . His collection burned up in a fire.

Dalton NY had a beer joint called the Hogs Trough . (Or it was close by up on the ridge. It had as interesting characters as youd find. The Cartwrights come to mind! I bought a 1914 Ford touring loaded in the back of a Ford F100. We drank beer at the Genesee River Falls hotel and went the wrong way for Livonia (Home) Ended up at the Hogs Trough where we met these cowboys the Cartwrights. They had a big scuttle with the bar owner and came back with a chainsaw , cut the bar into chunks and tipped it over. You cant make this stuff up. It happened. Dalton had its own beer joint in town that was quite famous and may still be there. One of the bartenders was Kelly Howard who later became my banker... Its a small world here in UPSTATE NY.

Im looking for this style lamp marked GEMCO . What year and model Buick uses this lamp without the ridge pressed in the top? Thanks Mike PS - Im not working on a Buick. Ive been told Reo used a very similar lamp.

Greg, You kept the right car. That Hupp is a very Handsome car.

Patrick watch ebay for early 1930s U joints They are very similar and can be used on the 1931 Auburns.

Sunny, If you chop up that Chrysler your blessings may dry up. ....... That's way to nice of car to monkey up. Im sorry, but there are so many shitboxes on the market, you should reconsider.

Sunny, That's a darn good looking car! Nice find.

Steve Ive moved several buildings . I you are staying on your own property get 2 gig power poles, Slid them inside , and bolt them to very pole. X brace between the poles very well big out around each support poles and saw off . get yourself a 450- 550 crawler and slowly draw it to where you want it. In essence you are making a big stone boat like used with draft horses. I wish I lived closer , Id do it for you for a fee. Mike PS- Olympic is being delivered in the morning.

I did not buy the car. seller was hard on $20,000 and it was way beyond what I was willing to pay.

Paul nailed it... I couldn't explain it better. Go for it!

The dreaded BUG going around has not stopped Franklin parts from being harvested off parts vehicles here / If you need something large or small 1929- 1934 give me a call. Have a safe Sunday.
