Steve Braverman Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 1930 FranklinLooks like a series 11 body on a 1930 chassis. Maybe even a Tandem Sport body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I like it. Is that really the dash that came in 1930 Franklins? looks a bit later to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f147pu Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) The s/n falls in Series 11 and 17 is the body type number for tandem sport. Interior hardware is S/11. Dash is not Franklin. Note the seam across the rear body panel. What shape was a T. S. below that seam? Windshield looks tall for a T.S., at first I thought it might be a Sport Sedan without the landau bars or the rear vertical bars and a modified rear panel.Gordon Howard Edited March 23, 2011 by f147pu add name (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Re: What is it - This car is currently on ebay, and is a mish-mash of Franklin components and other makes as well. The body is listed on ebay as a 1927, which would explain the suicide front doors. It is not a Tandem Sport - the body above the belt line is too high, so is probably a standard 27 sedan body without a widshield visor. The bumpers are incorrect for a 1930 - they would be double bar if correct. Note on the ebay photos that there are no grille shell louvers at all - only some kind of metal mesh. Note on the ebay photos also that there is no tail light by the left rear fender, only a center mounted tail light at the rear. The spare tire on a standard 30 sedan would not sit at a slant as on this car. The 27 body was shorter than the 30, so there would be room for a spare on a slant; however, this sedan uses a spare mount from possibly another make. The dash is definately not Franklin of any year, probably Packard as someone else has indicated. An interesting conglomeration, but not at all authentic.
