1927 Dodge Brothers Fast Four

The Dodge Brothers "DB" emblem is in both headlight lenses. Both running boards are protected by metal step plates where passengers would naturally step. Beneath the engine hood is the "Fast Four" engine. A 6-volt electrical system powers such equipment as the ceiling dome light inside the car and the starter on the outside. If the starter fails, then the original hand crank provides a backup system. The one wiper is vacuum-operated and is suspended from above the windshield in order for the windshield to be pushed open at the bottom for fresh air. Only the two rear wheels are equipped with brakes and those are operated hydraulically. An ornate metal grate is in the rear floor to admit heat from the engine.

The engine happily functions when lubricated with 5 quarts of oil and 10 gallons of fuel in the tank. When I'm seated behind the four-spoke wooden steering wheel, "I keep it around 40 miles an hour,"

The restoration was completed in three years and the restoration shop summoned me for a final walk-around and brief test drive to ascertain if everything was as it should be. Instead I contacted the second owner, the son of the original owner, do the honors. He declared the restoration "perfect." Contact Mike @ 559-789-4544 Or mbenz71@gmail.com
