Built as a five-passenger touring car or a two-passenger runabout with folding auxiliary seat. The lightest, most compact six-cylinder car built. Some sixes weigh nearly twice as much. In a small motor (a big, heavy motor is not required in a light car) the smoothness and flexibility of six-cylinder construction are very pronounced. The motor is air-cooled—the simplest type of construction known. There is no freezing in winter; no boiling and over- heating in summer. The easy-riding of this car is remarkable. Full-elliptic springs and flexible construction are the main reasons. And the size, length and weight are just right for perfect riding balance. You can order direct from the factory or through a Franklin dealer.
