A fantastic example of Franklin's distinctive approach to luxury automobile engineering, this 1929 Franklin Model 135 Sedan is an increasingly rare and historically significant American automobile. Originally built in Syracuse NY, this particular Model 135 is an incredibly well-documented older restored example that continues to show well today, this Franklin offers collectors a unique opportunity to acquire an uncommon example of one of America's more innovative automotive marques. Power comes from the correct 274 cubic-inch, air-cooled inline six-cylinder engine, rated at 60 horsepower when new and paired with a three-speed floor-shift manual transmission. Franklin's innovative air-cooled design set its automobiles apart from many of their contemporaries, reflecting the company's commitment to engineering and performance. The car runs and drives as it should, offering an enjoyable opportunity to experience the character and mechanical ingenuity of a late-1920s Franklin. With surviving examples becoming increasingly uncommon, its documented history, distinctive engineering, and appealing presentation make it a particularly interesting addition to any collection of significant American automobiles. A handsome and rare example of Franklin craftsmanship, this 1929 Model 135 Sedan is ideal for the collector who appreciates unusual prewar automobiles, documented restoration history, and the enduring appeal of early American luxury motoring.
