AI Listing Summary

This 1925 Franklin Series 11-A Sport Runabout boasts desirable sporting coachwork and was restored for Harrah's in the late 1960s. While it has been well-maintained, it requires moderate attention and recommissioning to return to the road, with noted minor interior wear and dust on the engine and chassis.

Condition

7

The car was restored in 1966-67 and has been maintained for sixty years. While the paint and chrome are in good condition for their age, there are defects such as three small tears in the passenger seat cushion, a cracked windshield grommet, and a dusty engine compartment and chassis. It is described as a 'modest project to return to the road' requiring 'moderate attention and a full functional recommissioning,' which aligns with a 'Very Good' condition rating.
