Roger points out the very real problem with air cooling, getting cool air to each cylinder evenly. I learned something new! The wild valve within a valve set up. The crazy stuff they tried back then. Good stuff as always Paul!

Hi Paul! Thanks for the in-depth tour of the Franklin Museum! Those were such cool and interesting cars! They are also pretty big too! Saw one at a car auction that had the horse collar grille. Had the wooden chassis too, which was totally amazing! I bet they rode pretty nice with the added flexibility and dampening qualities of the wooden chassis rails. Have a great day!

I first want to acknowledge the incredible camera and sound setup in the this video, well done! Mr Moffat's knowledge of these cars is outstanding - thank you sir for sharing. A personal story - my mentor in my career was also a car guy. One metaphor he used was the Franklin, and the change in style to conform, as an example of human nature. I find the engineering and style captivating - thank you both again for teaching me more. Have a great week, God bless ~ Chuck

Thanks Paul for sharing! Wow! If I drove a Franklin like I dive my “A” it would take twice a as long to drive the Lincoln Highway if I had to stop every 100 mile to take the cover off and oil it down. What a beautiful car and the neat engineering. See down country Road! Steve

What a really neat car museum, those Franklin's are very very special. Having an air cooled car never entered my thoughts, stunning cars for sure. Thanks Paul, I hope you have a great weekend!

Great video! I would encourage you to continue to show what other car manufacturers were offering at the same period as the Model A. It gives insights into why Ford did what he did, shows other solutions to similar automotive problems at that time and puts perspective on how diverse the marketplace was back then. Thanks Again!

the 1931 green & black "concept" cars inside steps was copied by chevrolet trucks (1955-59). When they went from running boards to inside steps. Except, about a 1/4 century earlier! This was an amazing episode & Tina does an exceptional job a filming! Kudos Tina

Orville Wright drove a Franklin. Also, the Stinson Voyager designed in the late 1930s used a Franklin aircraft engine. General aviation engines of today, made by Lycoming and Continental, are all air cooled.

My grandfather worked for Franklin! I wonder if he got the idea of buying a Wolks Wagon Beatle from his work
