Ralph Hamlin, a monographed handkerchief in his pocket, stands beside a Franklin Transcontinent Six (Series 141) sedan with a 1930 California dealer license plate "1A 44". Ralph Hamlin was the Franklin automobile distributor in Southern California since 1905.

I don't mean to be nitpickity but, there was no such series as 141. It is a 1930 Franklin series 145 (short wheelbase) or 147 (long wheelbase). Just to let you know so you can update your photo. Our Franklin Museum at the Gilmore Museum complex in Michigan was built to resemble Ralph Hamlin's Franklin dealership in California.

Regal Model N outside the Forbes Hotel, Sydney 1913. It looks like a 1913 model with the longer dumb irons (108" wheelbase) but still using acetylene lighting. 

 

I wonder if it's the world famous Regal SOS car?

The 'masked up' photos date from the big flu epidemic circa 1918-19.
