We have a choice of 3 cars to drive a 1927 Chevrolet Tourer a 1962 Chrysler Valiant and I have just purchaseda 1913 Mors.It is a french car with a 2.2 litre 15hp motor I helped my Father in-law with the restoration of this car in the 1970s &80s I felt very proud to drive her on its first outing last Sunday to our annual Club Christmas lunch The Valiant is an every day driver and the Chevrolet is used for club runs and displays We (my wife and I) enjoy our old cars and use them to the fullest We are going on a 300 mile run at the end of January in the Chev Any way guys no more time for chatting gotta get down to the shed and get some more done on the 2249 Cheers and A MERRY CHRISTMAS to all Ron

I have to correct my last post. With a chassis # IS-21655 makes my car also a late August 1927 build Just out of curiosity gundog what is the chassis # of your 2249?

Hi Anthony, That I dont know Going by chassis # my car was an early November 1927 build

Hello Anthony,How interesting. We both have Australian bodied 2249s and yours runs on 19" wheels and mine has 20" with 5-50x 20 tyres

G'day Ian I know what you mean.this year I have built a 20X16 m workshop for my toys and if I see another Tec screw in the next 10 years it will be to soon.

Both my wife and I visited the Walter P Chrysler Museum in 2009 and we were both left with loving memories of what we refered to as hallowed ground. One question that I do have is whether the 2014 DB centenial celebrations were going to be held there as we intend comming back from Aust to those celebrations and were hoping to visit the museum again Ron and Kerry

Hi Mike, It is great to hear that you had a great time rallying around France. I was only thinking of you and the rally last week and I was going to drop you a line to see how everthing went. Well now I dont have to And its good to know that the 2251 performed faultlessly Cheerio Ron MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL DB OWNERS IN THE UK

Should have said HOOD welting

Shame on you Jason That badge belongs to the best Dodge Brothers that was ever made In answe to your Queery I removed mine useing a wooden drift slightly smaller than the hole that the badge clips into tapping gentley with a mallet Make sure you dont drop the badge onto a hard surface as the porcelain can chip quite easily Hope this helps Ron

These rivets dont come with felt or welting attached BUT they are used to attach welt to steel panels Most cars have hoob welting held on with this type of rivet

What do you mean by a felt bumper head ? Post a picture and I will see if I can find something Ron

I believe they are called Bifurcated Rivets Ihave got heaps different sizes as well Ron

Hey Ray, you can buy the Caddy and park it in my shed then you will have transport when you come out to Aust for a visit We have a large home so you will be apples for accomadation Have you got the DB running yet? Cheers Ron

#3 looks simlar to DB senior 6 I would need measurements to confirm this Ron

What a great buy,You have one nice car there.I have never seen the mudguards and vallance panels painted two-tone before looks great.I can't help you with parts availability as I am in Aust but I had no problems with cups and dust boots for my wheel cylinders.The master cylinder needed new piston and cylinder which I had made.I was able to buy nos brake linings as well and i still have one set to do another four shoes. Are you going to be in Detroit for the 100 year celebrations If so it would be great to catch up with another 2249 series owner.I own an Australian bodied 2249 tourer Ron

My Grand-dad nicknamed me tail light when I was a nipper.Recons I wasn't bright enough to be a stop light

Tony, I have colected several tail lights and I have come accross both, some with reflectors and some without. Is this another DB mystery? Ron

Ray if possible DO NOT use PTFE tape go for a Locktite type thread sealer instead. Any bits of thread tape that become disloged can cause havoc to needle valves and jets Any Ray this is a car your repairing is not a plumbing job I like the job that you have done on the vac tank and the cast brass tops are not common. I do have some good orininals if you want to go that way Cheers Ron

Hi trini, I presume the # on the toe board is io the DB identification plate If it is you are the owner of a 1928 Dodge Brothers Senior 6 designated the 2251 series. Going by the information this car was built early March 1928 Hope this helps in you identifying car.Please post some pictures Ron

That copper oil line looks to be a bit squashed Ron
