1930 Frankin Victoria Brougham is a close coupled sedan with side mounted spare tires and a rear trunk. It is listed in the 2020 Franklin Register as PR (partly restored). Most of the restoration work done to the car was to keep it in running condition. The rear seat is in original condition. The front seats are covered. Neil purchased the car in 1970 and we drove it many thousands of miles before the highways got too crowded and dangerous. It was then taken to the Franklin Trek in a car trailer and enjoyed on the back roads of New York for many road runs.
Asking price $27K. Marty Sugermeyer (757)761-1244. Send me a text and I can send you pictures.

1923 Franklin Touring. $5,000
Franklin 4-door touring car. I don't know much about Franklin cars, so the description is very limited. Vehicle is not in running condition. The wood has really dried out in the dry climate of New Mexico, however the rest of the vehicle is doing well for a 100 year old car.
I have many pictures showing the different components on the car for those who are interested. Due to telemarketers and scammers, please leave a voice mail with name and phone number and I will call you back, or you can send a letter requesting more information or photos of specific areas of the car that you would like to view.

1930 Franklin Club Sedan
I have owned this car since 2007, and during my ownership it has never been on a trailer. I have driven it from Toronto, to and from the Franklin Trek in Cazenovia, almost every year since 2007 up to and including 2022. The car has been on many other long trips, such as several times to Watkins Glen NY and to the Air Cooled Gathering at the Gilmore Car Museum in Michigan. Thanks to a 4.25 final drive ratio plus larger than standard tires, [7.00/7.50 by 19 ] 60 miles per hour is achieved at 2373 RPM. I regularly did expressway driving at a steady 60 MPH for long distances following a major engine rebuild about ten years ago. The engine rebuild included reboring the cylinders to 30 thousands oversize and installing Egge pistons as well as machining the crankshaft 10 thousands undersize, both main and rod bearing journals. Toyota Land Cruiser connecting rod inserts were fitted by Tom Rasmussen. Babbitting and aline boring new main bearings was arranged here in Canada. New valves and valve guides were also installed. Other mechanical updates during my ownership include sleeving and rebuilding the hydraulic brake master cylinder, new Hasslen-supplied wheel cylinders in the front brakes, and replacing all hydraulic brake tubing. I also had the cooling fan hub rebuilt by Paul Fitzpatrick and installed a new clutch plate. All of the chrome is in excellent condition. Body paint, although rust free, is several years old and has oxidized badly. The paint needs to be redone with a more durable finish that keeps its shine. I created a new trunk which is correct for this car according to the Franklin engineering drawings. Headlights and taillights have been converted to LED.The Club Sedan is a very attractive body style, particularly as this car is equipped, with six wire wheels and side-mounted spare tires. A car cover comes with the car. as well as a supply of the upholstery material for the interior. I am asking a modest price of 28,000. US dollars, considering the improvements I made to the car. The car is located near my residence in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
