    Record provided by Dodge Brothers Club, the  Dodge Brothers only started making cars from 1914. Trucks are from around the 30,s. Unlike Studebaker who was a carriage maker I think from around 1860 or so. A family business. Then went on to making cars around the turn of the century. What about Ford ? When did he start. There were others who were tinkering with self propelled vehicles in their backyard garage, like Ransome Olds (Oldsmobile)  

     

    Actually Dodge Brothers were making Commercial Car models that were used for the purpose of small deliveries in the mid teens and when they signed a exclusive agreement with Graham Brothers they were in the truck business in late 1920 early 1921 with the 1000, 2000, and 3000 models

    Would like to know the make and year.

    Grandfather’s first job.

    Photo taken around 1927-28 ,Victoria, BC.

    Great photo! 

    I think we would all love to have something like that showing our grandfather...

    Would you mind posting the photo on our Dodge Brothers section? We have a running thread (15 pages) that show different models of Dodge Brothers vehicles so other owners can study them and this photo of your grandfather has many details that may help someone later down the road. 

     

    Thanks for considering it

    Here is the link to that thread

     

  3. Left is maybe a Lyon or  LaSalle?

     

    Right could be a A-P, Biflex or a Weed (after market names) they were often used on Dodge Brothers touring and roadsters and other make and model of vehicles also.

    Loosely similar to the 1931 caps, but dome-shaped. VERY interesting....

     

    What's even more interesting is, when you zoom in and rotate it looks like there's a embossed octagon or circle shape with what looks like a 8 or S in the middle. I wonder (since the photo was taken around 1940 according to license plate) that someone may have used anything that would fit for the photo?

    Something like the Studebaker cap below?

    I keep checking back hoping someone has a better picture of the car and posts it?

     

    This is just another example for anyone that finds the episode that has the Duesenberg in it. This shows how the same vehicle tended to show up in different scenes.

    With the three photos here, I'm sure someone has enough to give this beauty a proper id.

    I don't know if they ever had a Duesenberg themselves or not. I have read a few times that they never got paid a lot for all the films they made. I am not sure how much truth there is to that story?

     

    Still searching with no luck yet. I did find a neat Packard Ambulance though.

    Did my best at capturing several snippets

     

    Btw, the title should be Dizzy Doctors. Try finding the Dizzy Doctors episode that shows the umbrella scene and you'll probably see more of the Duesenberg as they usually showed the car several times throughout the same episode.

    The touring is '14 to mid year '16 because of the exposed frame at the front fenders. The one with the top up is mid '16, early fenders and 6 cathedral windows in the top. If John doesn't know the hubcap we are screwed. He only needs 2 square inches to ID anything and is never wrong. It's not a normal DB hubcap by my eyesight. 

    Must be a 16 then because I found all those with the same family section. Note the first photo the passengers 1&2 have their hats off and look different but I believe 1, 2 and 3 are the same people in both photos. Also #4 barely shows the drivers side mirror in the first photo. 

     

    Notice in the very first photo in the series I posted above the lady holding up something in the back seat. Then note the look on 1, 2 and 3's faces. Tells me that was either an annoying aunt or mother in law...

     

    As for the front hubcap on the Ambulance, yeah, we're in trouble if John doesn't know...
