CrazyLister1932 FRANKLIN 153 DELUXE ROADSTER This is your one of a kind opportunity to own this immaculate and very rare 1932 Franklin 153 Deluxe Roadster, customized by Frank Beck of Illinois. Produced in 1931 series 153, first registered in 1932. Since then till now one family car. Runs and drives, all original parts, nothing has been replaced, which doesn't happen often when car is 83 years old. This model was a barn find, stored for the past 25 years, it's in amazingly good condition. True opportunity for connoisseurs who can appreciate this pre war beauty! This used to be elite car, at the time it cost $4000, where popular Ford roadster cost $500. There is no top, comes exactly as shown in pictures. The H.H. Franklin Manufacturing Company of Syracuse, NY built America's most successful air-cooled automobile, with its first innovative air-cooled motorcar in 1902 and continued production until 1934. Of the 150,000 Franklins built between 1902 and 1934, it's estimated that about 3,700 have survived. When we got the car it didn't run, it took us about 4 hours to get it started after such a long time in storage. Now it starts without a problem right away, every time. Engine is all original, nothing has been changed. It's distinctive elliptical suspension specially designed for roads back in 1932 makes it a pleasure to drive, you will not feel any bumps. All tires were old, we have replaced 4 tires with new ones, there are 2 more spare wheels with 2 more brand new tires ($400 each). Paint was in very bad shape, it was yellow and peeling off, we have stripped it completely and painted it matt black so steel body won't rust. All bodyis steel, it needs to be sanded, evened out and painted. If you can put the time and effort to restore this beauty to it's original glory it can easily be worth $100k. Feel free to contact us for more info, this car won't last long! PaymentShippingReturnsPayments are accepted in cash, certified funds and wire transfers only. No credit cards, sorry.
