Franklin was one of the best selling cars in the days before assembly lines. All of their cars were air cooled. They had a reputation of being trouble free.
Ford built a few prototypes in the early "letter car" days. No telling why, but they remained experiments that were never produced beyond the few experimental examples.

It would seem that air cooled engines would be simpler, but they must run hotter causing more problems.
