Franklin Parts Needed

carwriter · 2006-05-08T03:21:16.000Z

I'm helping my father prepare for his 1929 Franklin 130 Convertible Coupe's first restoration since 1970. (He's been driving it for years and showing it, but it's now time!) There are some parts we need.1) Wire Wheel Hubcap -- Push-on type with the stylized "F" (rather than the one with "Franklin" on it)2) Convertible top bows -- When the previous owner restored the car in 1970, he fixed the top up. We need the bows that run back-to-front, as well as the tonneau bars (the exterior side bars.) The rear folding mechanism seems to still be in place. We might also need different doors, since the current doors have fixed window frames. Any help from experts on this would be appreciated.Please feel free to email me at sbarer@apexstrategy.com or call 360-402-6487.Thanks,Sam BarerOlympia, WA

One of the foremost experts/restorers of Franklin would be Tom Rasmussen, Spring Lake Park, Minnesota. http://www.odysseyrestorations.com/

His website shows a 1932 Buick, but he's very well known in Franklin circles as the Go-To man.
