It's a Franklin. Actually there are two Franklin's in this picture. Is there a listing for the other one too (yellow one) ? |
|

No, but we can duplicate the pic if needed (no better view ; but if both are Franklin maybe two separate pages are not useful) |

Date would be 1925-26 for the beige car and 1927-28 for the other one. Raul, they are Franklins not Franklin's - even for native English speakers it is one of the most common mistakes to use an apostrophe for plurals. -- Last edit: 2009-04-09 11:07:00 |

Yes, my mistake. I see that you are quite strict in English grammar. Anyways I still would like to see a page for both of these Franklins. |

I believe they're both 28s -- at least that's what the owners told me. The one on the left belongs to one friend, the other to a gentleman named Chuck, who coordinates cars for movies. He arranged for the majority of these cars to be in the film. Both cars were running pretty badly, and everyone was afraid to mess with them. I was called to the set to get them running -- both had gunk in the carbs. The beige one is a "movie car" with a fair restoration. The blue one is a show car. Franklins are rare, but there are quite a few in Los Angeles. I have a late 25 coupe. -- Last edit: 2009-08-26 04:50:40 |

Note that with these two Franklins,the one on the right has the small circle in the middle of the big circle in the grill - makes it a Series 11 - and the one on the left does not have that making it a Series 12 or maybe a 12-A. |

Saw both of these Franklins today and spoke to the owners. The blue car on the left is a 27, and the beige car on the right is a 28. The beige one was for sale -- I bought it. |

This scene was reenactment of the capture of the Wineville Chicken Coop murderer; Gordon Steward Northcott who was arrested along with his mother; Sarah by the local police at her apartment in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada on the afternoon of the 19th September 1928. Northcott and his mother was later extradited back to California on the 30th November 1928 due to errors in the extradition papers. Sarah Northcott pled guilty of the murder of Walter Collins and was sentenced to life imprisonment on the 31st December 1928, she was released from the Tehachapi State Prison after serving 12 years and later died in 1944. Gordon Northcott was later convicted of the murders of three boys; bothers; Lewis and Nelson Winslow and a Mexican ranch-hand; Alvin Gothea (who was believed to Northcott's first victim) on the 8th February 1929, he was sentenced to death on the 13th February 1929, he was executed by hanging at San Quentin State Prison on the 2nd October 1930. -- Last edit: 2018-11-04 05:58:23 |
