History of Franklin
The H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company
built the most successful American direct air-cooled cars from
1902 to 1934. The Company was run, during its first thirty-two
years by Herbert H. Franklin, backer of the first die casting
business, (for which he coined the term "die cast") and John
Wilkinson, the engineer who built the first Franklin Car and whose
design principles combining high quality with light weight gave
Franklins their distinct reputation for dependability and long
life. Their legacy has been one of successful innovation and, of
course, the unusual vehicles that survive. |
