Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1928 Franklin Series 12A Limousine, originally a New York City hotel shuttle, features a 274.2ci air-cooled inline-six engine and a three-speed manual transmission. While it boasts a unique history and some recent mechanical work, it shows cosmetic wear including faded paint, damaged upholstery, and cracked windows, suggesting it needs some reconditioning.
Condition
5
The car has faded black paint with scratches and dents on the bodywork. The rear quarter windows are cracked, and the wood-spoke wheels have chipped paint. The interior has tears, moth damage, and stains on the rear cabin upholstery. Therefore, I would rate this car as "Above Average".
