Will this 1923 Franklin model 10 run and drive after 76 years this car came from Nebraska. It was originally sold in New York in 1967. It was bought and brought to Missouri. The car has been inside its whole life. The car was cut up sometime during World War II and turned into a truck so they can get extra fuel rations.

Built in '23,,, parked in '48. Started life as a beautiful car, survived the depression and WW2, ran its "last" mile as a worn out truck. The newspaper gasket stood out to me. Back in those days, if you didn't have it you made it. If only that car could talk,,, what a story it would tell.

Our Elders had great problem solving skills and quick fixes . Oatmeal was often used as Radiator stop leak . Model Ts and other Cars 🚗 of that period would run off of Kerosine and White Lightening Whiskey . Had to get the old Cast Iron Engines hot 🔥 first with Gasoline ⛽️ then Kerosine would burn . No Mosquito problems while burning the Kerosine . ( White Smoke ) . From conversations with my Great Grandfather , ( 1965 ).

My Grandfather was an auto mechanic when these were new (born in 1899), and he told me that a Franklin was the first car he saw with a self starter, and almost wrecked it because he didn't know and it took off when it started unexpectedly. Thanks for the great content, I love the up close views of these gems and getting to hear them run.

He owned "newer" models than this particular car (a 1928 and a 1932 I believe). But one thing he used to do to help start the car back then was take the valve covers off and drip gasoline on the cotton in there (you can see the cotton when he pulls the valve covers off, he oils the cotton but my dad used to put gas on them). From how he describes it, it sounds like his engine didn't run well so it relied on the gasoline soaked cotton to run, so when he would drive it for a while he would have to stop on the side of the road and soak the cotton again.

It's great to see the enthusiasm in getting the Franklin running. I watched the whole lot - thinking the Timing was the issue -or low Float Level & fuel. Many (like me) would be thinking like this whilst watching. The Franklin engine almost reminded me of the Henderson Motorcycle of around the same period....... We wouldn't dare to put anything like that on our roads, and our driving license would be gone! Glad that the old girl came to life. Greetings from Australia.

So I bought some vacant land and called it a farm ..... Unfortunately the Government figured it out after several years, but i was still able to sell the still vacant land for more than I paid for it.

Where you from buddy? You remind me of me, when I was a younger man growing up in North Central Texas. My buddies and I would search for old cars or trucks sitting out in ranchers fields and farms and ask the land owners if we could try and get them running. 9 times out of 10 we were given permission to try, and that's what your videos remind me of. It's like reliving my youth. I'm about to retire from the industry, but for years have made a six figure net income turning wrenches based on my reckless years of tinkering with stuff like this, cutting up, and drinking COLD beer with good friends back when. A country boy can survive, and just knowing how to get something back on it's legs is good enough sometimes, and satisfying. So many people these days can't even operate a simple can opener or change a light bulb, so it's refreshing to see a guy making it happen through hard work, tenacity, and a humorous attitude. I appreciate you man, and your style of videos. Keep up the good work, videos, and know you've got a new subscriber. Best wishes from Seattle Washington, and I'd drink a beer with you anytime!

Unique look and sound to the Franklin. Very cool. I remember my Dad talking about working on them. I'm surprised that it ran at all with the old ignition wires.

I thoroughly enjoy your videos and how the motor wizard gets these old relics running again. You should put out a picture book with pics of all the neat old vehicles you have resurrected with a little description of where the vehicle was found and what you did to get it going again. Phenomenal work on your part. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors. Best regards always

Franklin is perhaps best known for their aircraft engines. They knew air-cooling very well. That example is otherwise remarkably well preserved. A shame it was needed as a truck. The exhaust pipe running around and against the intake is to prevent carburetor icing - a fatal issue when flying. Air-cooled VWs ice up their intake under certain conditions.
