Steve Braverman Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I drove my 1932 Franklin 300 miles to the Franklin Trek with my wife, daughter (age 2-1/2) and son (age 11 days). It was long, strange trip indeed. Brave or stupid? It was fun!Franklin cars gather in Cazenovia this week for annual meet - East Suburbs BlogThe reporter got my son's name wrong, it's Sam, not Joel.

Friartuck Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Steve, congrats on establishing a new family record with Franklins. No, not stupid. Doing what you love...Priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Steve,Brave? Yes, like any normal driver in the 1930s but with the advantages of good roads and cell phone communication. You know your car well enough to enjoy it with your family, I hope to get to that point some day. As for stupid, that word does not apply! We need more people doing what you are doing so others realize old cars do not just live on a show field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest windjamer Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Steve, a few years back,not that many,a young family with a new baby was makeing a trip I think they said awrond the world in a Grahm. Not sure, might have been a 28. They stoped at fall Hershey and collected donations to continue ther trip. They planed to write a book on the trip. Told about crossing a river with large logs lashed to the car to float it across. I sure would like to read that book. Anyone remember the couple or know the rest of the story???

Marty Roth Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi Steve,Congrats on the trip - wish I could have been there, but we no longer havethe 1917 Franklin Model 9-A.Many years back, dale and i did our cross-country touring in the Franklin, and with a '27 Chevy. Glad to see the seat belts for little ones -- we still do the same for our grandson who has toured with us since he was 2 months old. Like his mom and her older brother, he drives the old cars when we are not on public roads.Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
