Im not sure if this is the same as a 1928 but take a look. It came off the speedo in the picture. The swivel is in perfect condition and spins freely. See it and other Franklin parts for sale on my Facebook page - "Franklin Automobiles and PARTS" Mike West 585n 738 1541

David, - You said it very well. I agree with all said. The Dodge Brothers are very good cars . Buicks all run.... all years... Driving worn out cars does impact their reputation ,like you said.

I agree with everything said above. I thought we were talking about mid 1920s Franklins. HCCA club is for Pre 1916 Cars and trucks. I appreciate all Franklins ,just don't see the subject car mentioned above as a "Good Deal". Just my opinion , and not an authority.

I guess it would make a good museum piece, but in my opinion these 20s cars that aren't good road machines are not a great investment. Im probably wrong ,but don't see a future for this car. They are slow, poor brakes ,under powered, and expensive to work on. A good Model T Ford would run the pants off it...

Do you think that is a bargain?

Im upstate NY south 30 miles of Rochester NY

Art, I did nor find the one I thought I had. It may have got scrapped. I did talk to guy today who has one. Ill try and call you/ Mike

George - may be able to help Call Mike 5857381541

That shouldn't be too hard of search. I know of a touring car ,Ill ask about it. Mike

A new member needs a clock, speedo cable, and hood handles for series 12.Are any of these items the same as series 13?

Ive welded up the teeth and ground back with a die grinder. Take your time and it works great. Then if you feel like it sometimes you can turn the flywheel a a 1/2 or 1/4 th turn. Most motors stop I the same place and you will be starting in a new area! Good luck.

In the next few weeks Ill be "Knocking in the head" this Franklin sedan. Drop me a note what you need, I may be able to help! Mike 585 738 1541 Other Franklin parts 1928-1934 available .

I have a good speedometer with a nice face and glass. $75.00 plus shipping. It has the FRANKLIN block script on the face.Shipping $10.00 in USA

Yes the car is known to the club. Its a early 1929 model 135 , 125 in wheel base, with only one car listed in the directory older.

2 parts boiled linseed oil , 1 part turpentine. The oil brings out the color and the turp makes so it drys and isn't sticky.Ive done it on many carriages and old preservation cars/trucks to make them shine and look good. It can be reapplied anytime but will last 1 year.

Gordon, Its not a huge deal to fix the 1929-30 popout Delco switches with a new coil . Do you have a switch now with keys? Ive fixed many of them.Mike 585 738 1541

Shawn, What is the VIN #? I am near Rochester ,NY.
