Craig Derham Was an established coach builder so anything they did with an existing body would have much more cachet then something built in someone’s backyard.

Still a custom, non factory model. Take off a bucket of points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericmac Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 I was the starter of this thread. What I finally decided to do was sell both Franklins (I took a huge bath on that deal) and I bought a complete, correct, factory bodied convertible instead. No regrets. Last I heard, the beat up '29 (really rough) wound up as a parts car. The other '29 is now a complete car, albeit still a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
