For Sale: 1933 Franklin Olympic in Seattle, Washington
This is not a normal car for us to buy, but every time I see an
early 30's car I� want to have one. My first classic was a 1935
Packard Super 8.� This Franklin is in great shape, not show, but it
runs well, looks good and the wipers even work. I don't know much
about Franklins but I will learn more about this car. The Olympic
has a 6 cylinder air cooled 274 cu.in. engine and it's massive in
size. Franklin bought Reo Flying Clouds minus the engine and front
end and added Airman engines, added Franklin hoods and grill
shells. The idea was to have a less expensive automobile to sell.
1934 was the last year for Franklin. I'm not sure about the paint
but I'm sure the interior is original and it's very possible that
the paint is also. It's like it was in a time capsule.� Most
everything works, tho' the gas gauge and speedo don't. Both wipers
work. � One of the things I like on the 30's cars is dual side
mounts and this Franklin has them. Even has a trunk on the back.
Window shades too. Of course it has running boards, you can just
see it in Chicago back in the days of Al Capone...machine guns
blazing.� �Joe at Old School Garage Did the service and safety
check. It runs and drives good. It will pop out of 2nd gear. Joe
went thought the wiring and fuel system. Andrew picked it up from
Joe Monday and brought it up to the auction. It's not running right
not sure what it is? When I first got the Franklin it rain good so
I know it will run well again.
