greg g Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 For you engine aficionados. Can you name it? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 I admit 6 individual covers mixed with side draft is a twist...the design screams diesel but yet the engine appears air cooled...cycle jugs... Quote
Flatie46 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 I've seen old American La France fire truck engines that had separate cyl heads and barrels like that. Quote
bamfordsgarage Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 Franklin for sure. Air-cooled. In a period-look speedster. The side draft carbs are obviously more modern. Franklins were distinctive not only for air cooling, but also used wooden frame rails from day one until the very late '20s. This speedster has a steel frame, which could be late Franklin or perhaps some other make. Quote
greg g Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Posted July 15, 2017 The frame was Packard, the running gear Franklin, the carbs Italian, the body mostly home made. Wood spoke wheels, three inch open exhaust, America LaFrance driver passenger seat. Sounded great. Quote
