Today’s Top 5

Very similar to the 1922 model

... that my dad's cousin owned in the '60s: a gorgeous blue Model 62 touring car that started my lifelong fascination with antique automobiles.

The Demi-Sedan

Wow! Impressive sculpture over the door of the building.

I'm trying to buy a '21 Franklin with this kind of body. It has a "California top" with removable window side panels. In the Franklin case (and others) this was called a "demi-sedan" It could be stripped down to make a touring car in the summer and panels added to create a semi-snug semi-sedan for winter time.

The Don Lee Building

2-wheel go, 4-wheel stop

Hey, it looks like it even had front-wheel brakes! Very rare in '23.
