Dan Cluley Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 A photo taken by my Great Grandmother in July 1927. She and a couple of her sisters seem to have been on a trip from Detroit to Hamilton Ontario. Family stories say that she had a couple of Franklins in the 1920's and this seems to match Franklin pictures I have looked at. It seems that they did not change much between '25-'29, but is there anything that I'm missing that would narrow this down between '25 and '27? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 You see no brake drums as the series 11 Franklin of 1925-27 had a transmission brake. Note the rear wheel no brake drum behind the spokes. Car is equipped with a long running board trunk as well ( this was not a stock item offered by Franklin) Hard to determine but possibly a 7 passenger sedan? due to the width of the rear door? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrhd29nz Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 There are small drums on the back that have external contracting break shoes for the emergency brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
