Franklin Automobile Advertisement, September 1905, "The Luxuriousness of the Franklin"
01
Artifact Overview
Upscale Franklin automobiles, built from 1902 to 1934 in Syracuse, New York, were distinguished by their air-cooled engines. No radiator or water meant less weight, and no danger of the cooling system boiling over in summer or freezing in winter. Some 150,000 Franklins were built over the company's 32 years, making it the most successful American air-cooled car.
