The Franklin Automobile Collection

The Franklin Automobile Collection is the permanent home of The H. H. Franklin Club’s collection of automobiles, display engines, and artifacts that span the four-decade history of the H.H. Franklin Company. The Syracuse, NY firm built America’s most successful air-cooled automobile, with its first innovative air-cooled motorcar in 1902 and continued production until 1934. The museum is a partner of Gilmore Car Museum and is situated on its campus.
