A Prohibition-era gangster car prowled the streets of Gorham on Sunday, driven by restorer Richard Pratt, who lives in town.
Pratt calls his 92-year-old Franklin Model 130, with a secret compartment for liquor, his “old faithful,” according to the American Journal. The air-cooled, 6-cylinder four-door was one of roughly 20 participants in the Lions Club Annual Classic Car Show, held outside Gorham High School.
