We toured the Franklin Auto Museum
The Franklin cars were a luxury auto compared to Cadillac in its heyday.
They were known for the air-cooled engines and were lighter
and more responsive than other luxury cars.

This Sport Touring car had a second windshield for the back seat passengers,

When this was $2600, Ford's were selling for about $400.
