I purchased the car from Al Briggs in Arizona. He had bought the car in 1965 and put it back together. He was a good Franklin mechanic and wrote the Franklin Service Letter for the Franklin Club for years. He was a marginal carpenter and the car was body framing was poorly put together. He toured the car for years on the East Coast.
I bought the car and it was not as advertised. I needed to find a windshield and few smaller items. The frame of the car is ash wood and needs a complete rebuild. I got a windshield lot of body restoration photos from Greg Windham of Oregon.
I have started on the project. Wish me luck!
