    engine paint

    in Dodge & Dodge Brothers

    Bob, here is that green, it is faded a little because of heat from the motor over the years but in my opinion it is one of the original paint colors available.

    Thats the same color that was on my 1928 fast four engine (it was on the backside of the water pump as well as other places). I know that my engine had never been rebuilt and it looks more green then gray.

    I don't think they can be printed. The best I can do is to enlarge them on the screen (till I can read them) then do a screen capture (using the Print Screen button ). I then paste that into a graphics program (in my case PaintShop Pro). I can do this multiple times as I scroll around the article and then combine all the pieces in PaintShop. Or you could print the individual images and then print and tape together.... I'ts all a big pain in the butt.

    Dillinger's Model A -$150,000!

    Ok, am I the only one that thinks $150,000 for the Model A Coupe that Dillinger drove is insane, especially since it had been restored (“The Ford was carefully restored in 2007 to appear in Public Enemies, preserving the original bullet holes and dimples under body filler and carefully documenting the original appearance including the upholstery soaked with blood.”)? I just finished watching Public Enemies and in the movie Johnny Depp doesn’t even drive the A when he eludes the Feds while fleeing from the FBI in Little Bohemia. I guess I better watch again and see where he drives it……

    1927 Dodge Bros. Fast Four numbers & ?

    If I am not mistaken the difference between 128 and 129 is 19" wheels versus 21" wheels for more ground clearance, and the 129 had lower gears to adjust for the taller tires. Same way with the Victory 6 130/131 models. I do remember something about early 128/129 brakes or emergency brakes that they had to change emergency brakes to be legal.

    Dave I stand corrected....:)

    "Fast Four" is a nickname coined by the public referencing DB's "Fastest Four in America" and never was an actual name. 1927 Fast 4's are called 124 Models, with 116" wheelbase, and outwardly look just like 24-27 cars. The difference being it had the new engine with 4 point mount, dist through the head, carb on right side on an intake manifold and a SAE shift pattern. They still retained rear brakes only. 1928 fast 4's , Model 128 /129, are a new body style and shorter wheelbase and did have 4 wheel brakes. The 27 124 was only made for about four months before the 28 model year started.

    Just a clarification - Model 128 has 2 wheel brakes while the Model 129 has 4 wheel brakes....

    Just saw this on MSN - Looks like a great project for someone with just a chassis!

    1918 Pep-O-Mint Life Savers Car

    The first promotional vehicles appeared almost as soon as the automobile became popular in the early 20th century. According to James Hale, author of "The Wonderful Wacky World of Marketing Mobiles," the first "product-mobiles" appeared in America before World War I, with custom coachwork designed to evoke the actual shape of the product, and often were used to distribute samples or make product demonstrations. The vehicles drew a crowd when they were parked, and were rolling advertisements on the road. The giant roll of Pep-O-Mint Life Savers, built on a 1918 Dodge truck chassis, required its driver to lean out of the center window to see forward
