The H.H. Franklin Manufacturing Company built the most successful American direct air-cooled cars from 1902 to 1934. John Wilkinson was the engineer who built the first Franklin car and whose design principles gave Franklin its distinct reputation for dependability and long life. All Franklins utilized air-cooled engines and double elliptical springs on all four wheels. Their legacy has been one of successful innovations and, of course, the unusual vehicles that survived.
There was only one 12-cylinder air-cooled car ever produced and fewer than 200 V-12 Franklins were made. They came in four body styles: five- and seven-passenger sedans, limousines, and two-door club brougham. The seven-passenger sedan and limo had jump seats. The limo added a divider window.
