San Francisco, 1929. "Franklin Brougham at Lafayette Park." Its telltale bollards standing guard. 5x7 glass negative by Christopher Helin. View full size.
What a beauty! Looks like a great restoration of what must be a truly rare car. Lucky you on the barn find!
Especially these. Smooth clean lines.
This model Franklin was actually called the Victoria Brougham. Built on the long limousine chassis this 2-door body ended way short of the rear, allowing the trunk to sit directly on the chassis. Here's mine, a true barn find half way through its restoration.
and a nice one at that. Makes one wonder what the early "boots" on British cars looked like.
