Sport Touring: 1928
San Francisco, 1928. "Franklin Sport Touring at Golden Gate Park." Latest entry in the Shorpy Pantheon of Forgotten Phaetons. 5x7 glass negative. View full size.

Air Cooled
The driver in this top-down photo is not the only air-cooled item here; the engine was air-cooled as well -- as was the case in all Franklins. That feature was not the builder's only unique engineering approach; another was a continuous attempt to keep Franklins as light as possible -- long before government CAFE standards prompted carmakers to lighten up in the name of fuel efficiency.
