Povertycove Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 In going over some stuff from my series 15 convertible coupe, I discovered a worn metal tag marked "convertible coupe" and "W. B. CO" with "body number 255". I confess that I don't know that much about Franklins, but I wonder if this is a tag from the Walker Body Company, the Amesbury MA company that built a lot of Franklin bodies? Since the tag was loose, I'm not even sure that the tag belongs to the car. If the tag does belong on the car, where would it be attached? I've included a photo of the car.

Guest groinky Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 My Walker Body Company tag [ WBC ] is attached to the floor under the carpet under the drivers feet. It is located towards the front of the door and is facing towards the sill plate. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 The tag gets nailed to the body sill on the drivers side close to the front edge near the base of the dorr post.If the sills havent been replaced you should be able to see where it was nailed down. If you need a picture I can email it directly to you. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odat Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 That is the propper tag for that car. It just was not installed after restoration. It goes on the floor by the left front door post.I know that car well and it is a very nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
