Vehicle Detail

**Lower the price to make room in storage for more vehicles. Priced for a fast sale. This is a perfect example of a 1929 Model 135 Franklin Victoria. At this time, the Franklin company had hired the famed Raymond Dietrich for most of its design work, which is reflected in the graceful lines of this model.THIS IS THE BEST RUNNING FRANKLIN I HAVE EVER OWNED...If you buy this car and dont believe its everything I said when you get here....I will refund all your money....you will love this car and it is a high level restoration....I have lowered the price 1000.00 to help with transporation thank you......Richard Blomquist white glove collection Several years ago in Old Cars Weekly, Joel Prescott wrote this of Raymond Dietrich: Certain names have particular power over the mindset of the true collector. These are the giant, shadowy names that live in automotive histories and populate the auction catalogs, pushing up the prices of the cars that they adorn. In some cases, these names do nothing less than define the genius of the age. Of course, the age I refer to is the Classic era. My personal nomination for the patriarch of them all is Raymond H. Dietrich. Those two simple words — “By Dietrich” — can easily add $100,000 or more to the value of a Classic Packard or Lincoln. The recognition afforded to the Dietrich name is rightfully directed, because Raymond Dietrich had just about the most perfectly formed, innate sense of balance and design in the entire history of the automobile, let alone the short Classic era, during which he flourished. The car features a Lalique hood ornament and beautiful luggage trunk. The car is also fitted with overdrive for highway speeds. A full restoration, this car needs absolutely no work, it is ready to show or tour. Will be glad to help with export transportation and ect...call richard for more information....608 780 8229
