Franklin 147 Saloon Special

About this vehicle:

This amazing American Vintage car in Devon is very rare indeed and after spending it’s early life in the USA it went to Canada to be fully restored, and now there are only 11 left in the world with this particular car being the only one left in europe so if you want your wedding transport to be unique then this Franklin should top the list. 

The engine in the Franklin is actually an aeroplane engine although we are assured your chauffeur will keep strictly to the roads on the way to the ceremony venue, although the Bride may have her head in the clouds !  With it’s wide band whitewall tyres and hickory spoked wheels this vintage car is truly a little bit of American history. 

You will definitely be noticed in this head turning automobile.  Although a rare car we actually have a matching pair of these Franklins if two are required.
