Wow, thanks Steve! I'll get the wrench out and put that on right away!!

A friend sent me this photo and wondered what it came from?

My experience in Maryland is that it is not worth it. If you are driving a car for hire, you should have a chauffer's license. Next, the documents that you sign to get the Maryland historic tags states that the car is NOT to be used for hire and my antique insurance says the same thing. I know people that do it here, but I believe they are taking a chance. Dave

I agree with 58 Mustang. Franklin called their boat tail roadsters, Sport Runabouts

Does anybody have locks like this for sidemounts?? I have been told they were quite common locks but I have not been able to find any.

I'm guessing that the King Seeley gauge is hydrostatic and not electric. I had the gauge in my Franklin rebuilt by Classic & Exotic Service Inc. in Troy, Michigan. They did a wonderful job but I don't know if they could supply you with an entire gauge. Dave

Steve, I already have the lock cylinder. It's the cast body that seems so hard to find.

Franklins had wooden frames through 1927. In 1928 only the short wheelbase cars had the wooden frames, the long wheelbase was steel. From 1929 on, all were steel.

My beautiful 27 Franklin needs a spare tyre lock. Does anyone have one of these lying around?? Dave Phillips
-
WTB need the spare tire clamp for series 11 or series 12 Franklin. Does anyone have one of these lying around???

Some years ago, I had a beautiful 1955 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire. It was not built for export, so it was a right-hand drive car. Some of the questions I had to answer, "No, it is not a Rolls Royce" "No, it was not built by Rolls Royce" "No, my name is not Armstrong Siddeley, that is the name of the car". The best, however, was the lady who stood in front of the car with a bewildered look. Finally she asked why the steering wheel was on the "wrong" side, I explained that it was a British car and the British drive on the left-hand side of the road. She turns and calls to her husband, "He drove this car here on the left-hand side of the road!!!" I won't even go into the goofy comments I've had on my Franklins or my 54 Citroen Traction Avant.

It doesn't look like my reply went through. I'm in Maryland so I am not too far away. My Cabriolet has glass windows that pull up with leather straps. I think most of the other models had side curtains. I tried posting a picture but it didn't work, so I'll try again.

If it had hidden headlights, it was a 42. I had 2 of them. The 41 did not have concealed headlights.

I have a 1924 5CV Cabriolet. It was originally owned by a Citroen dealer in Switzerland and that is why I named it Heidi. It shares my garage with a 54 Traction Avant.

Citroens not worth the money??? I think the front-wheel drive, torsion-bar auspension, unit body and graceful styling make them very collectible.
-
My 1954 Citroen has a device that locks the gear shift lever in reverse. It was made by Robri and is called "Block Vitesse". Think of it as a French version of The Club.

How about the cigarette dispensing steering wheel that was on my 1942 DeSoto?

This car was at the 800 year jubilee in Dresden. Can anyone identify it??
Enclosed trailers
in General Discussion
Posted
I'm looking for information on enclosed trailers to haul my 27 Franklin. One of the biggest manufacturers states that the opening height of the back door is 72 inches. The 27 is 73 inches tall and that is lower than most model Ts. Any suggestions other than letting the air out of my tyres! Dave
