jim43 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I didn't know Franklin built a supercharged V-12 in 1933, but I have a 2 fold 3 sheet ad copy that says they did. Not new condition, but close. Anyone interested in this? Email me with value and I will take some photos for you.

Guest ChrisSummers Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 As I recall, the car was not supercharged in the conventional sense. Someone more into Franklins might be able to supply more on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 My Franklins are "supercharged." The "supercharger" is a duct that routs air from the cooling fan into the carburetor under what may be a tiny bit of pressure. This duct can be opened and closed by a knob on the dash. There is no difference in performance.It is fun to tell my passengers, "I'm gonna turn on the supercharger now," and watch their anticipation of rocket-like acceleration.
