Re: [VintageLambo] Re: VW... Porsche ...Franklin Lambo...

Doc, While growing up in Santa Barbara, adistant "next door" neighbor had 6 (yes, six) circa 1929 Franklin 4 door sedans.No open cars (unfortunately).They were large beasts on the scale of a Packard... with vast room in the opposing rear seat passenger compartment.They really weren"t my cuppa tea. At the same time, vintage sports racing Ferrari were languishing at $3000 and you could buy a running P51 Mustang for $5000.In the overall scheme of things, the Franklins were interesting,, but nothing one could retire from the proceeds, Greg . ----- Original Message ----- From: ">docmirror To: VintageLambo@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 6:08 PM Subject: [VintageLambo] Re: VW... Porsche ? I had to look it up. It was a Franklin. I think made in New Jersey or something.
