Hot Rods Did I just buy a 1927 Bently? *identified update*

Pile

 

Shoot man, build it! I've seen cool cars built with less parts in the original pile. That could be a real slick, not to mention rare as hell. Who has a Franklin hotrod? I don't even remember seeing one of these and I ain't no spring chicken.

 

You could build something out of the hood and cowl section. The other parts may help with Franklin restorations. Here is the club link. http://www.franklincar.org/FranklinGilmore/fac-cars.htm

 

found this on their site

 

I could make a sweet smoke house out of it if you don't want it. It's salmon season you know.

 

should I send it out to the bering sea or just wait till your closer in? can you smoke sausages with it? Salmon is a filthy animal

 

Thanks for making me burst out laughing at work! Jerk.

3 years?...that seems like a harsh penalty. Even out of season with no license. Were you using government property to bait them?

 

Might turn a profit on those 3 years if you scrap'em out for the gold teeth...
and the possibilities from your new license plate making skills are boundless!

 

Don't know what that is, but I seriously doubt that's any kind of window... (look at the restored Franklin photo)

 

I think he was just joking, the 37Kid has a sick sense of humor.

 

The restored photo shows a touring car. The sedans in the late teens did have raked windshield, but I didn't see anything that looked like that piece in the photos I reviewed.

When 37 discusses an odd early car, listen. I'm pretty sure he's right...
I found a number of very similar Franklin vent window pics on very slightly newer Franklins. Franklin did not do much of anything the way anyone else did!

 

HAHAHA!Rad...... That is a bit of a project but a neat one!

 

Looks like the front quarter window to me.

 

yep, front corner winders.... they even fit right back on.... someone steal this away from me.... or trade me a unicorn, or I'd take a steel hull 128' trawler for my new motorhome
