The 1917 Franklin 9A was one of many cars produced during the 'Brass Era' of automobiles. The Franklin Automobile Company produced over 150,000 vehicles during its lifetime from 1902-1934 and eventually fell into ruin during the Great Depression. While pricier than other cars on the market at the time, Franklins were known for their luxury and comfort while offering many unique innovations that we still see in modern cars today.
