Pioneer Park: 1929
San Francisco, 1929. "Franklin sedan at Pioneer Park, Telegraph Hill." The view-blocking "funeral urn" balustrade, like the Franklin, proved unpopular with motorists and soon vanished. 5x7 glass negative by Chris Helin. View full size.
Victoria Brougham
That great car is a 1929 Franklin Victoria Brougham. A 2 door close coupled sedan. I restored an exact copy in 1972 after pulling it out of a Long Beach N.Y. garage. Considered a full classic today, back then it could only be purchased by the very wealthy, as the depression got under way.
View-blocking lives
But now it's trees that have unaccountably been allowed to obscure much of the view from up there.
