rustrodsrule Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I think they have a 29 or 30 Franklin on this TV show. It has the wrong head lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFitz Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Without a picture or screen grab, or at least a link to a picture, no way to tell. Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFitz Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Thanks, Olympic 33. Yup, a 1929 Series 13, with more modern head lights and what may be Lucas fender lights like my Austin. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Scariest thing is that the car won't be safe until it is in a garage of a owner who will sympathetically restore the car with no "tricks" and that will be the "treat". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as possible issues with the original safety glass separating and becoming harder to see through. New parts can be an issue as well like inner tubes for the tires which although new are hard to source and even if you can may be of marginal quality to stay filled and not leak. I have driven Franklins over 60,000 miles so yes I do like to drive them in all kinds of weather.

Just by looks alone, it's a good possibility it's not "drivable". 😁 Paul Edited October 24, 2022 by PFitz (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
