1927 Franklin, I love the oddness of it. Air cooled 6, birch frame and all aluminum body. One of three known to exist and he drives it once in a while.
The 1927 Franklin 11-B model had a 32 horsepower, 274.2 cubic inch displacement, six-cylinder engine with overhead valves. It was an air-cooled, inline engine with copper fins on the cylinders instead of steel, which improved cooling, compression, and power. The engine was located under a four-piece aluminum cowled hood and had a single barrel Stromberg carburetor under a black painted metal air covering. The 11-B also had a three-speed manual transmission with 4.72 gears on the rear axle and no radiator.
