The older car in the centre of the photo is a circa 1925 Franklin, an air-cooled car.
Probably a Model 11A - 1925 was the first year that Franklin featured a false radiator that gave it the appearance of a water-cooled car. The 1924 Franklin featured a 'horse collar' grille. The 11A was designed by J. Frank de Causse, one of America’s first true automotive stylists. While the new look was controversial within the company, it was immensely popular with the public and sales soared.
