  1. Hello Matt,

                       There used to be a car just like the above DC-8 in Australia, here is a picture of it. It was a Budd bodied sedan with wood artillery wheels but it had been trucked. It is gone now, it got assimilated into a DC-8 rumble seat coupe in New South Wales. You could buy this one and there could be one in OZ again.

  2. For sale here is a 1930 Dodge Brothers DC-8 sedan that was originally sold new in Watertown, South Dakota. It is still configured just like it left the factory. The FEDCO serial number plate is there and readable, the engine number and the frame number match like they did when it left the factory. NO TRADES except I could get a hard-on over a DC-8 phaeton body.  Presently it resides thirty miles north of Spokane, Washington and my asking price is $7,500.00. I have three other DC-8 cars and I have been involved with 1930-31 Dodge Brothers cars for the past 50 years so when I say something I am not talking out my ass. This car is missing most of the wood pieces but I have either accurate plans or patterns of them, this car is currently missing the radiator cap, one outside non-locking door handle, the foot rest (I am going to manufacture a batch shortly), the driver's side cowl light bracket, the front bumper support bar (can be made), possibly one shock and the choke control knob. If you have any questions please send me a private message through the AACA mail system. I am attaching pictures of the car and most (not all) of the pieces that go with the car. The car is being sold with a bill of sale and a Build Card from the Chrysler Historical Collection (no title).

  3.                         It saddens me to report this, but just this morning I confirmed with the Tacoma, Washington Medical Examiner's Office that on the 10th of this month RODGER HARTLEY did in fact proceed on to the big Dodge Brothers Dealership in the sky. For nearly fifty years RODGER was a good friend and now this earth is not the same, it is going to be a much lonelier place without RODGER. What RODGER knew about four cylinder Dodge Brothers Automobiles would have filed volumes of books! The hobby is now a much emptier place with RODGERS departure.
                                                                           
     
     
    Here is link to Rodger's obituary.

  4. I am attempting to put together a set of these 1930-31 Dodge Brothers DC-8, 1929-30 Chrysler model 66 or model 70 demountable wood wheels. They mate up to a wire wheel brake drum. I would appreciate any help in locating these wheels pictured below. They are 18" with 6 hole on a 6" diameter pattern. They were the first generation demountable wood wheel where the tire was held on with a chrome plate lock ring just like a wire wheel and the lug bolts were exposed. Thank you for looking at this thread and please keep a look out for them!

  5. This 1938 Oldsmobile two door sedan belongs to one of my good friends, he nor I know what it is worth. To our knowledge there is no rust out, in the trunk there is some surface rust. My friends Grandfather purchased the car in 1940 and it has been in the family since. It has not run in many years. If anyone is interested please private message me thru the AACA mail system and I will send you his telephone number. The car is located in Northern Idaho. If I didn't have 200 years worth of projects I would be tempted myself. If anyone would like more pictures please just ask. There has been several street rodders interested in it from the Spokane area but my friend would like to see it remain stock.

  6. This message is addressed to those of you who might concern yourself with my quest for the image in the following description. I am willing to pay a cash reward to whomever can provide me with a quality image of the J.E. French Co. Dodge Brothers display at the 1930 San Francisco Automobile Show that was held February 1st thru the 8th. The image must show the Cut-away chassis that they showed that year. Attached is an image of the 1929 display, the cover of the 1930 program and a picture of the Civic Auditorium where the show was held.
