There have been many many period pictures posted on the Facebook group "Franklin Automobile Enthusiasts". I would encourage anyone interested in Franklin Automobiles and the Franklin company to join.

That is the Startix backfire switch. The function is to break the ignition circuit if a backfire occurs. It is part of the Startix system used in '32 and up including Olympic cars.

Dan,
Is it the tag on the bottom edge of the cowl, or the numbered tag by the driver's door nailed to the top of the wood body sill ?

My '30 has a Dietrich body tag.

Craig,
Look at ACN 38 page 12 where Tom Hubbard discusses production numbers for Speedsters. Although it's not a definitive account of production, it's the best I've seen so far.

My 336 Phaeton has a woodgrained windshield frame. I can't say for certain that this is correct but it's a reference for you.

Hi Sean,
The Washington County Rural Heritage Museum here in Hagerstown has at least two Dagmar cars on display. I recently donated a book on the history of the Dagmar automobile to them and I'm sure they have even more information. They can be contacted through here: https://www.washco-md.net/rural-heritage-museum/exhibits/transportation-methods/
The museum has a nice collection of unusual cars that they have on display including locally made early bicycles.
Thanks,
Dan

I have a total of seven IGK1003 distributor caps and one rotor used on Nash and other makes. These appear to be mostly NOS with boxes except for one. I would like $225 per cap and $325 for the cap/rotor or $1500 for the whole lot.
Thanks,
Dan

Max Merritt Packard Parts has them. I purchased some for the 18B sedan and as I recall they're slightly oversized compared to the originals for a snug fit.

It is indeed the one from Owl's Head. Unfortunately I have little information about its history other than it spent a long time near Cambridge, OH. The previous owner has since passed.

Try Bolt Depot www.boltdepot.com. I've bought large stainless wood screws from them for a few projects.

Also Tom wrote an excellent article on rebuilding these in ACN #147 (March 2003)

The Carburetor Shop sells kits. I would also contact Randy Fusco to see what he has available. The Club made new venturis and I believe they're still available. If yours has the original I would consider replacing it - if it's not cracked and swelled now it will eventually.

We have a '32 Nash 1080 sedan. It is slowly coming back to life with a freshly rebuilt engine. I met someone this summer with a nicely restored '32 convertible. They're out there and there are people interested. But I do agree that people who embrace the oddball/orphan makes are few and far between. It takes a lot of research, effort, time, and most importantly patience which seems to be where a lot of people find a least resistive path.

Thank you

Thank you for the information! We are very active in the Franklin Club and enjoy driving this car very often. Although I did not know Red Amick personally, I sure feel like I do from all of the printed material he produced and the stories about him.
-
Good question on which class and I don't really know as we've never entered in in an AACA show before. This may be from '55. The last name was Amick.

We have one on our Franklin which I believe is from 1954.
