Franklins were built in Syracuse, New York from 1902-1934, with 1929 being the highest production year, producing 14,432 total cars. The Great Depression now was in full swing, starting the death of the Franklin as production numbers dropped dramatically. A big fan of Franklins was famous airplane pilot Charles Lindbergh. With the banks now in control of the company and calling it quits in 1934, legend has it that Herbert Franklin got up from his desk, grabbed his hat off of the coat hook, and walked out. Grab a hold of some automotive history here in this beautiful Franklin before its gone.
