1933 Franklin Series 17-B Club Brougham
In 1932, bankers (any story that begins with "the bankers" never turns out well) who held outstanding Franklin Automobile Company loans forced in their own representative to manage the Franklin Company. At his urging, a V-12 version of the Franklin was put into production in the Spring of 1932. It came to be known as "The Banker's Car." Approximately 200 V-12 Franklins were built. Even that small number were difficult to sell due to the deep depression the US was suffering. The Franklin Automobile Company ceased production in April of 1934. The Series 17-B Club Brougham featured an air-cooled, 12-cylinder, 150-hp, 398.2-cid engine. The price of the car was $2,885.
