I acquired some very early parts from a friend that has had them since the 1960s. There is a early hood and short brass steering column/spider and wheel that came from the same location. The hood is marked "Peerless" . It is all brass construction, has a hinged panel on the top to access the motor and 2 panels on the sides. It appears that it was painted with the exception of 2 strips the full length where the sides meet the top. It appears this area was polished (similar to a 1905 Franklin cross engine car). The front is open where the radiator coils came out from under. This item would look great polished up for display. The boys in Australia would build a whole car around it. (very handy and clever people).It anyone has any intereset ,please email me. Mike

It looks like your dad was doing a great job on building the 32 like he wanted it. It will make a great car, but still needs $20,000 spent on it. IE: chrome, paint, assembly. You should finish up the car and join the Franklin club. Carry on dads dream. Good luck! Mike

I emailed the owner and asked how many you get? (for $25,000.00)

I know of a 1929 Sterns-Knight rumble seat sport coupe/landau irons, golf door , decent original interior, not been out of the garage since the 1960s. Car has wire wheels and ORIGINAL PAINT. Even the top fabric looks original. I think the wheelbase is like 140 inches. Car is in western NY . Mike

John, I left you a voice message. I have the generator and some other bits. Mike

I would contact the historical society of the city where his dealership was. I would also start by scanning the picture in the ACN so you know what you are looking for.

Dick,
I don't know what issue it is, but one of the old ACNS has a great full front shot of HAMLINS dealership. I assume that is what you are looking for. Go to the clubs website and search for HAMLIN in the subject file for ACNs. Mike West

Interesting photo . Is it a 1905?
The caption with the print says driver "MAY BE MR FRANKLIN" wrong.......... -
Ive decided that I don't need these parts and all for sale reasonable. I had collected these parts to build another speedster and it just isn't going to happen.
2 Brass radiators - both need repairs, one would be ok for a speedster. $100.00 and $150.00
2 frames -both early style ,one might have the ears cut off. $100.00 each
Aluminum hogshead with pedals RIGHT HAND DRIVE ,Rt hand drive casting for steering column. $300.00 for both
steering column tube with brass quadrant only-$50.00
early style front end restored with new pins and bushings $150.00
30x3 suare wood fellow wheels ,original paint EXCELLANT COND has hubs,early take offs. $100.00 each
Coils, manifolds, non starter block, springs (some tapered) bearings, brass step pales, brass steering column brace for speedster, early choke rod and dash piece, tool boxes, and lots of stuff on the shelves.
Bargain price for a someone that will buy all the T stuff.

Is it hard rubber? If it is,it looks like a axle/spring bumper.

Thank you gentlemen, I am always happy see Franklins back on the road and not trapped in a museum . Franklins are in my opinion the best driving, most nimble, best stopping and most affordable "Classic Cars" that can be had. They are meant to be driven.... Thank you! Mike
