CraigD Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm looking to find a Franklin Doctor's Coupe in good to excellent condition. My father owned one when he was young, and would like me to find one to have in the family. Contacts or leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkgage Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 lloyd Wilson in Anderson, SC has a 1926 Doctors Coupe he wants to sell. The car is apart but most of the restoration work has been completed. Lloyd can be reached at 864-367-6007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigD Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thank you, Mkgage! I need to decide if I am willing to take on a project, and if so, I'll give Lloyd a call. Thanks too, to Scott for the reference you sent me to the '25 Sports Runabout listed on the Hyman, Ltd. site. Very nice car. I called them, and will consider if they're negotiable enough on price!Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigD Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm looking for someone with Franklin experience in the St. Louis Area. I'd like to have a car in that area inspected. If you know someone who knows Franklin's around St. Louis that I might contact, please reply with a name and contact information. Thank you, Craig Bellevue, WA425.445.5505 cell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odyssey Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Please be aware that the car being advertised by Mark Hyman in St. Louis is a sport coupe and NOT a Sport Runabout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigD Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) The car I'm considering is reported to have had an engine rebuild by George Thomas in 2005. Does anyone know if George Thomas is known in the Franklin community? The previous owner of the car indicates that he has good experience with Franklin's... just wondering if others know of Mr. Thomas.

CraigD Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Well, found a great car, but not a Doctor's Coupe'. 1929 Speedster. Decided a larger, later car would be easier for us to enjoy. Looking forward it's arrival here in Seattle in 3 weeks or so!

29 franklin Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That is Doug Hulls car and it is the best of the best.You will enjoy this car!! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigD Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yes, it's Doug Hull's car. I visited Doug and Jan as part of making the deal, and they were wonderful. The car is fabulous! Doug was kind to show me around the car and give me helpful driving and upkeep advice. Drove it myself too. What a neat car. Very excited about its addition to our family. Shipping out soon to Seattle, should have it in early November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigD Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) The Speedster made it to Seattle! The car's trip here was a bit of an adventure... moreso than hoped for! Glad its here. Thanks to Dave Erwin for finishing the delivery, and to Doug Hull for all the help. Took my parents out for the maiden voyage down to the Kirkland waterfront... had a wonderful time. Having a Franklin back in the family is satsifying for my dad... which I'm glad for! Edited December 13, 2014 by CraigD (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
