the new FRANKLINS have
the ^Airplane Feel”
What is the "Airplane Feel?" It is the closest description we can find for the sensation of driving the new Franklins. It is caused hy a combination of features engineered into the Franklin and not to be found on other cars. Here they are (fiv« of them): —
1 . Air-Cooled Motor — Like the record-breaking airplanes you have been reading about, the Franklin is powered with a spirited air-eooled motor. ^ itb air-eooling there is nothing to boil over, nothing to freeze, nothing to leak. That tells the storv and it means fewer stoj>s and better perfonnanee.
2. Flexible Frame — When you get away from using a radiator, you can use a flexible frame — springy — like a raj)ier blade — takes up shocks.
3. Full-Elliptic Springs — Just about like
doubling the springs on other cars — giving the Franklin that 'Teather-floating'’ riding (piality that other manufacturers don't even dare talk about.
4. Light Unsprung If eight — If you make the ])arts of a car which are under the springs very light compared to the rest, vou don't feel road shocks. Franklin has been doing this for 27 years.
5. Scientific Distribution of W eight — Franklin weights are planned to go where thev do the most good. That's why Franklins seem to ride like airplanes, while they literally "hug'' the road.
W e can't tell you what the "airplane feel’’ feels like, unless you have flown. Drive one of the new Franklins and find out for yourself.
