3makes Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 It would be interesting to see the engine serial number and the serial number on the data plate from the Franklin Speedster along with additional pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Franklin Speedster? 🤮 Please……a cut down hack job. We have seen this car before. It’s no better than a doodlebug; and an ugly one at that. Will someone want it for a toy? Maybe. Much too hacked and poorly executed for me, and if you gave it to me for free I would refuse.

JV Puleo Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 What are the odds that there is a buyer out there that wants a warehouse in Illinois, those cars and has 1.5 million to spend? I think you'd have a better chance of winning the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Talk about disappointment. I read through the list, and saw that. Franklin produced a line of cars in that era that their marketing department called "speedster". A Franklin car that is "the only one produced"? I was hoping for something wonderful! I am a "speedster" guy. Mostly model T Fords, but also other makes if they are properly done. Proper era "speedsters" can be factory built custom bodied cars, or home made creations from scratch. They can be original era kit cars, well done, or never quite finished. They were made to resemble real racing cars or expensive sport roadsters of their era. And many of them were actually raced on local fairground circuits. However, the "speedster" era was dying by the mid 1920s! People and automobiles had grown up. People wanted their comfortable seats and full bodies. Besides, "real" racing cars were no longer crude cutdown chassis with a secondhand seat bolted on! There were always a few people building racer-like speedsters out of cast-off chassis. Some people do that still today. But anyone building something like that Franklin is deluding themselves if they think it is anything proper era correct. Franklin enjoyed(?) a short time popularity for cutdown cross country racers! But that was before 1920! (The last one I know about was raced in 1918) Sorry for the rant. But I think antique automobiles should be about cars that really were done in appropriate eras. Even "speedsters" should be "era correct". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Check out the taxes in Illinois before you buy anything in that state. Do your due diligence or you will have a shock in store when you close. dave s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumBob Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 All this stuff has been available for sale here for months already. I had some interest in the blue DeSoto. Needless to say, I don't have a million and five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Larry, you might want to describe the warehouse in your ad. Is it 100,000 square feet? 5000? Is it a pole building, a steel building, or a fortress with reinforced concrete walls? How large is the office? Pictures might help. All the best to you in your sale. We have people here with collections of all sizes, so a warehouse might be ideal. It's wise to sell things separately, however, because if someone needs a warehouse and office in Quincy, Illinois, he might already have plenty of cars. It would be unusual that he would also want to add 17 antique cars--and specifically those 17 very models that are part of that collection!

Never called them hacks, cavemen but not hacks. Maybe bronze age with a few door posts or hinges. Just find someone over 50 and make them think they are stealing it. You've got a sale.

Robert G. Smits Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 People and companies are fleeing Illinois at about the same rate as New York. If you have any "net worth" you would be an idiot to consider Illinois. Just my opinion and frequently wrong. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 No idea on the value of any of the cars or the real estate, but there are a couple of nice looking vehicles there. I think if I were you I would contact an auction company to get rid of the cars and parts. You should get a fair asking price as there will more than likely be multiple people bidding, and all of the stuff will be gone in a day! No haggling with buyers on the phone for months. Theres one particular auctioneer from that area that has a habit of turning anything to gold it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
