trimacar Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Searched for it on Google, had never heard of the Great Eagle. Apparently the 10 passenger limo was built for funeral service. They were very large automobiles....would love to see some pictures of this one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest muledeer Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I am unable to respond to all of the numerous e-mails about this auto, so I will give a general response in this forum: I do not wish to sell outright , I am only reluctantly offering it for trade as a last ditch effort to obtain my passion, ..... an air cooled pre 1910 Franklin. The model I have is the mortician's limo , (unlike the shorter hearse), it was used to transport the grieving family. If you have an unrestored pre 1910 Franklin in mostly complete unrestored condition and are willing to work out a trade please let me know.....Germann2@hotmail.comThank you.

motoringicons Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 There was a 1912'ish Great Eagle touring car that was part of Barney Pollard's collection in Detroit. It ended up in California where it was for sale many years ago. Very impressive, large 6 cylinder T-head car with the build quality of a Simplex. I don't know what ever happened to this car but I am sure it is around somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 That's a very tough specific trade situation. There's an early Franklin project for sale now in these very forums. My advice would be to put a deposit on that project, then advertise the Great Eagle for the same asking price of the Franklin, that's probably the only way to make such a trade.....good luck....
