Summary
This 1906 Franklin E, an early example of the original air-cooled American automobile, embodies Franklin's lightweight philosophy. Believed to have been rebodied, it shares design cues with the 1911 Franklin M Speed-Car, featuring a Renault-style hood and curved cowl. Its distinctive character is further enhanced by wire-spoked wheels, a louvered front grille, and a wooden steering wheel, showcasing a unique approach to early 20th-century sports car design.
