1912 Franklin Model G Touring Car

  • Chassis Number: 12837G
This 1912 Franklin Model G 5-Passenger Touring Car was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars sale at Hershey, PA presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $8,000 - $14,000. It was offered without reserve and sold for a high bid of $20,900 including the buyer's premium.

It is fitted with a four-cylinder OHV air-cooled engine that displaces 201 cubic inches and produces 25 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual transmission and two-wheel mechanical brakes. The wheelbase measures 100 inches and is held in place by a solid front axle and a live rear axle, both with full-elliptic leaf springs.

The car is in poor condition, having been neglected for many years the entire vehicle has rusted and the back of the left rear fender and the splash aprons have rusted out completely. The wood chassis is sound, the right rear spring is broken, the leather seats have cracked and there is mildew, the button cushions are missing, the brass work is tarnished, and the right headlamp has a cracked lens.
