That glider is a Franklin PS-2...Great photo Jesse!<br /><br />That glider is a Franklin PS-2, first flown in 1930. The balloon tires on the model A caught my attention right away too. Also, I dig the "supercharged" script on the hood! Something about those small wheels and oversized tires just look right on that car. However, I am extremely partial to bushwheels on any light aircraft make them look bitchin' !<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_PS-2<br /><br />In the Wiki link, look closely at the car in the top photo. Looks to be a '37 Chevy modified to tow gliders. ( nice high quality pic)<br /><br />Another nice photo of the Texaco Eaglet which flew across the country in the Spring of 1930.<br /><br />https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/hawks-frank-monroe-jernigan-j-d-duke-jr-franklin-glider-corp-p-s-2-texaco-eaglet<br />Brad Algrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323127143486549895noreply@blogger.com
