FYI, I ran across this on Wikipedia "In the United States, all books and other works published before 1923 have expired copyrights and are in the public domain.[40] In addition, works published before 1964 that did not have their copyrights renewed 28 years after first publication year also are in the public domain" I don't know if this also pertains to photographs owned by corporations. Here is a link to assigned copywrites and renewals that has a lot of information. The Catalog of Copyright Entries

Dang, If I could only sell my Fast Four Sedan I'd be interested or would you give me a discount if I haul a DA-6 motor and tranny for you from Spokane . Does it run?

Happened to run across this on Craigslist. The listing was for "The month of July 1920 Spokane Daily Chronicle newspaper bound in a book"

I love what you guys are doing! I may need to make a trip your way and pick up a few of those extra parts you have... My Fast Four is in need of a few items.

Thanks Kurt, I'll give you a ring. Jim

Anyone have a .030 over piston thaey would like to part with. This is for a 48 pontiac with the 239 6-cylinder. I also need a harmonic balancer and pulley. Thanks, Jim

George, never got a call back on my message, but you are welcome to try. The fellas name is Tim and his number is 208-762-7304. Here is the link to his CL ad for the International as well... http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/3022359835.html Jim

The fellas name is Tim and his number is 208-762-7304. Here is the link to his CL ad for the international as well... 1928 International Six Speed Special Jim

The vehicle is in Post Falls, Idaho. This is the picture from his ad, I don't have anymore, sorry. Jim

I'm in Spokane, Washington. If the fella gets back too me I'll see if he knows or if I can take a look. It's fairly close to my work.

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --><!-- google_ad_section_start -->I ran accross the Graham Brothers when I went to look at on old International truck. Not alot of parts left on it, but I thought I would at least post a picture. It's the rig in the background. Let me know if there might be something you are looking for and I could get you a number to call. Don't know the year, but it is a 6-cylinder.

Not sure it is really a 1917 DB.. 1917 Dodge Bros. Woody Delivery Truck

Could be that the Willard tag is from the dealer that originally sold the car. I have a couple tags that are similar and they were from the original dealership that sold DB's Jim

My two cents worth... Find something you want and go for it! I started looking for an old (1920's-30's) car before I had my license. I had actually put down money ($25.00) on a 1929 Willys Knight that was about 3 hours away in British Columbia Canada. My Dad and I were all set to go get it when it became a real hassle (at least to him) to get a trailer rented and get the car back across the border. In my frustration I grabbed the newspaper and found someone selling a 1965 Buick convertible for $200.00. Went and looked at it and bought it. That was about 35 years ago and I still have that car (now my son wants’ to fix it back up and use it his senior year). By the time I was 22 or 23 I had owned a 1930 Model A, a 1957 Caddy and a 1927 DB. Still have the 27 DB, but the model A and Caddy are long gone, never really did anything to them, but they were good deals so I never lost money on them, just time! Over time I have added to the collection, with another 28 DB, 64 Buick and a 48 Pontiac. Again all good deals and they are just waiting for me to retire so I can work on them. I was (and still am) one of those guys that had no experience, but just jumped into it. I always figure that if someone put it together once and it it worked I can figure out how to fix it. I've always looked at this car thing as my way of relaxing (at least most of the time), plus it keeps me out of the bars! I always get great satisfaction in taking something that was run down or broken and making it look and operate like new. I guess what I am saying is that if you find something you like, go for it. If down the line circumstances change you can always sell it. The worst case scenario is that it's a learning experience.

OK, I know about the Dodge Brothers March, but had never heard of the "DB Blues" by Lemon Jefferson. Here is a you tube video of the song.... 'D.B. Blues' BLIND LEMON JEFFERSON (1928) Texas Blues Guitar Legend - YouTube Here are the lyrics....

This site is full of wonderfull old photographs: Shorpy Historical Photo Archive | Vintage Fine Art Prints Here is one of a DB all decked out! Farrar and June Burn: 1929 | Shorpy Historical Photo Archive

Thanks Todd!

Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in the pistons for the 1941 -1948 239 6-cylinder versus the 1949 - 1954 pistons for the 239 6-cylinder? If so would you know what the difference is? Thanks, Jim

I don't think it was me... Jim

Last night I watched a TV program from 1961 on Netflix called "Merrily We Roll Along: The Early Days of the Automobile". It was produced by NBC and narrated by Groucho Marx. There is about 3 minutes worth of video (starting at 31:49) that show a DB (I think 1917 or so) plowing through the mud and muck on its way to an oil field. In fact on the side of the car is painted "Oil Field Dodge". This clip is a testimate to the durability of the DB. The whole video has great shots of early automobiling. Here are a couple of pictures from the video.

Dave, looks to me like that clamp is just a small (1/2") screw type hose clamp that was placed around the choke cable and the vacuum line. I'd be worried that it would eventually wear through the copper line and cause a vacuum leak. Jim

I made the mistake of taking the frame to the blasters with the rear axle attached as well as my wheels because I couldn't get them off. Needless to say, when it came back not much of the wood spokes were left... Of course I was and young and foolish then and didn't know any better! I'd recommend taking everything off the frame.

Oh to have that kind of room to work on a car! Anyone notice all the cycles in the last picture?
