Rogillio Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I just saw another new Dodge Brothers commercial. Since I own 2 mostly original Dodge Brothers cars, I love this ad campaign! A years ago the average person had never even heard of the Dodge Brothers....certainly a lot more people now have heard of them now. So the question is, does the DB ad campaign increase the value/collectibility of DB cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I would say that any time something becomes trendy or popular from ads, it is more recognized and possibly more in demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahartley Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It's fun to THINK the ad campaign would help values but at least they are getting the Dodge BROTHERS name out there!....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarredKnightfan Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It'd be nice if the campaign had that power, but ... kinda doubt it. That noted, I really like those ads b/c they remind people of the history of the brand, not just focusing on the now & future. Too many times, people lose sight of the past or where something came from ... & sometimes, that "backstory" has a heck of a lot of interesting details & tidbits.

Ron Lawson Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I am restoring a 1928 2249 Senior 6 Touring Car This body was not available in the U.S. The body was Aussie by Holden Body Building Co in Adelaide South Australia. It is 1 of 250 that were made by Holdens. It should be rather valuable because of its rarety but in my eyes it is priceless. No amount of money will buy it. I know of 5 of these cars and believe me I sure have been looking for the past 40 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Wouldn't it be fun (NOT) if they made replicas?Can you see a Shay Dodge, yuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogillio Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I still want one of those 1916 DB touring cars that can do a break-torture tire burn without any front brakes! The goal of most advertisement is name recognition. Boeing doesn't advertise on TV to get you to buy a 787...they are just promoting the Boeing brand. 2 years ago, I had no idea Mr Dodge had a brother. I had a crash course when I bought my car. But most people never heard of the Dodge Brothers until this ad campaign started. What we need to do get Dodge to hold a Dodge/DB rally or parade....I can show up with my 35 hp coupe an race a 707 hp 2015 Dodge Challenger.

keiser31 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I guess you missed the 2015 Centennial celebration that the Dodge Brothers club put on in Detroit.... Edited August 24, 2015 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogillio Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I guess you missed the 2015 Centennial celebration that the Dodge Brothers club put on in Detroit.... I did. My car would be shammed among all those near perfect cars. Maybe I will make the 2016 meet as my cars will be 90 years old next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogillio Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nobody will shame you for such a cool car. I understand....it's just that I know every flaw in my car....and tend to see zero flaws in other cars. I'm bad about showing people the flaws in my woodworking. They will be admiring it and I don't know why but I always point out the 'flaw' that no one would ever notice. I guess I just need to learn to keep my mouth shut.

keiser31 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I feel the same way about the new bathroom I put in. I see every flaw and everyone else just tells me how good it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an original, unrestored car (like mine) with flaws & patina? Great, bring it on? Got something in between (most cars, I suspect)? Great, bring your stories & pride! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_Greenlaw Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I think that if you try the best as you can with what you have, then your stories will outweigh any flaws.I know from my own car where each flaw is but someone who comes and has a look at it doesn't realise all the issues I've had but is happy the hear the about the journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a solid car from what I saw of the photos. You will probably be able to find the correct radiator cap and re-sell the 1930 Plymouth cap that is on it. You will also be able to find the correct headlamps fairly easily. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
