Franklin 147 Saloon Special
Vehicle Ref 128
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.

I cannot thank you enough in supplying the car for our daughter’s wedding. The whole process from start to finish was carried out efficiently and professionally. The car and driver were presented in an immaculate condition and James the driver ensured that it was kept in that condition throughout the day. James himself arrived promptly, introduced himself in a professional manner and continued that vein through out the day. He along with the car are an asset to the company.

Driver was wonderful and definitely put me at ease when getting into the car before the ceremony. He was 30 mins early and was happy to wait as I was running slightly behind schedule. He stayed after the ceremony so we could have pictures. Highly recommend.

What a brilliant addition to our day! My partners favourite car is this Porsche so when I saw it on the website, I jumped at the chance of hiring it! The driver was early and my partner said what a fantastic guy the driver was- very friendly and helpful. We got pictures with the car after the ceremony and I cannot wait to see them! You made my husbands dream come true and I’ll be forever grateful. Thank you, Sammy.
