1908 Franklin Model G Navigation
The H.H. Franklin Manufacturing Company was America's most successful company producing air-cooled cars from 1902-1934. Designed by John Wilkinson, early Franklins were high-quality, lightweight cars using wooden frames and lightweight aluminum bodies. Since the air-cooled cars needed no radiator, they had rather unique styling, and this series is known for its barrel front hood.
The inline four-cylinder engine is a 201 cubic-inch unit that produces 20 horsepower, uses a three-speed manual transmission, and has a concentric valve configuration. Oil simply flows through the engine and out on the ground. It does not re-circulate. This is called the Lost Oil System.
