Will it run and drive after 76 years 1923 Franklin model 10 

Will this 1923 Franklin model 10 run and drive after 76 years this car came from Nebraska. It was originally sold in New York in 1967. It was bought and brought to Missouri. The car has been inside its whole life. The car was cut up sometime during World War II and turned into a truck so they can get extra fuel rations.

Built in '23, , , parked in '48. Started life as a beautiful car, survived the depression and WW2, ran its "last" mile as a worn out truck. The newspaper gasket stood out to me. Back in those days, if you didn't have it you made it. If only that car could talk, , , what a story it would tell.

Don't fool yourself thinking this guy's just some bumpkin'...this guy's smart as a whip. Great stuff bud

My Grandfather was an auto mechanic when these were new (born in 1899), and he told me that a Franklin was the first car he saw with a self starter, and almost wrecked it because he didn't know and it took off when it started unexpectedly. Thanks for the great content, I love the up close views of these gems and getting to hear them run.

"It's only got 25 horsepower but it will send you from here to the hospital real quick" I'm living by this now.

That car is over 100 years old! Shes a real survivor, still hanging on in there after all this time! Shes a testimony to how well Franklin built their cars back in 1923. Just think everyone involved with this car, its design and manufacture are all dead and have been for a long time! Shes outlived them all!

You know. Seeing an old car with as many years and history behind it not only run, but drive just brightens my day. Most of the time this old car would just go back to the earth and be a nearly unrecognizable pile of rusted metal that has crumbled to powder. I found this channel the other day and I have really enjoyed it so far.

My dad owned a couple of Franklins back in the 80s. He loves Franklins.
He's gonna love this video

You are a patient man. My Grandma Dodie got the kids loaded up in my Gradfather's new one of these, & drove without instruction to her friends house. Never drove in her life. She was a bold woman!

Today we have A car from the cretaceous era, she's been sitting for about 137 million years, and were gonna get er' runnin

This is fantastic. I know nothing about cars but damn this guy has the right attitude to fix anything. Great personality.

Now that is just way too cool! I'm a big fan of converted car-trucks, and a Pre-War one is pure gold!
Soak all that old wood in linseed oil, repair/replace the frame, fix or rebuild mechanicals
and leave the rest alone. A real "Grapes of Wrath" timepiece GEM!

Am from the uk scotland but seeing this old relic just fire back into life. It's like giving it a whole new way to live again. If that car could tell u a story am sure it would tell u alot of secrets and history over those years. Well done buddy proud of ya ❤

[TheTwon]

imagine the old people in that town, randomly seeing that truck driving down the road that they remember sitting since their childhood...

Never ceases to amaze me the kind of vehicles you find and how easily you’re able to get them running

[BagOfHlding]

Seeing that thing not only run but drive is insane, absolutely incredible

[s_farias]

Man, that's truly amazing. A 100 yrs old car running. Many histories were made with this old guy. I like your content! Old cars need to be restored and kept by someone that like those old guys, to meet new generations and show how life was in the past.

[GetFitNick]

I love watching these history artifacts get restored

[jefferypitts]

I don't know where you find these projects, but your tenacity and positive thought, makes your channel the best, I wouldn't attempt half the stuff you do, I don't possess the patience.

Well that looked fun. I ran my dad's 1919 Franklin in Hot Rod Drag Week and got the award for slowest car to ever complete the event. Later, I ran my 1925 Franklin in the Florida Sick Week drag and drive event. They're great cars.

I like being able to come home and crack a cold one while watching these videos, beats primetime TV.

Ty for your content.
