This inspired Don Krueger and a friend who had a '29 Ford roadster that they were building into a hot rod. They also had a complete, running 1930 Franklin sedan -- a nice 18 year old car. The Franklin was air-cooled; Don and his friend took the hood and grille shell to use on their '29. After some cutting, fitting and pounding, it was clear that the hood would not fit. A nice, complete Franklin sedan went to the scrap yard! I don't know what happened to the '29.
Here's a photo of the '29 roadster with the Franklin front end.
