Walt G Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Yes, Franklin model G ( smallest engine size) 4 cylinder. Owned by the Harrah collection when photographed. Bill Harrah found the car in an advertisement in a San Francisco Newspaper on the Sunday used car for sale section. He bought and restored it and brought it to the Franklin Club annual meet they call a Trek and I rode around with him in it all weekend on tours. Very slow as that body and plate glass windows are very very heavy. We had it out on a tour just after it had rained and was humid, windows started to fog up from the bottom up on the inside due to the humidity he and I got a chuckle about that as we rode along his comment was " hope we get to where we are headed before we loose vision. " . Great car, great friend and the original color - dark blue - was outstandingly beautiful.
