Based on the octigon shaped door handle escutchon I think the doors may be from a mid 1920's Essex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobourgkid Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Did you know, Franklin bodies were all aluminum until 1929.Not sure if these are Franklin but I bet the folks at the HH Franklin Club could tell you. http://www.franklincar.org/ Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Now I'll go way out on the Franklin limb... R. H. Long made bodies for Franklin for a very short time nad then went onto making the Bay State. I had a Bay State 4-door sedan and sold it about 12-14 years ago but it had simmilar door pull handles and trim as the door in your picture. The car I had was ROUGH, and it sold to a gentleman from Oconomowoc WI. Maybe someone here can point you his way for an answer. If they are Bay State, that is the only closed car I ever knew of in existance and the only other car i ever found was a roadster in Maine.
