frankngin, by chance do you have a TRICO-FOLBERTH cylindrical windshield wiper?

I am also posting a photo of a DB Coach located at the Gilmore Auto Museum in Michigan. You can also check out the link below:

Nearchocolatetown was referring to my 1925 DB Fisher Body Coach. I am attaching a photo for you to compare with your car. There might be only 2-3 more of this Fisher Coach model in the 2019 DB Club Roster.
The Coach was manufactured for only 2 years.

Thanks Mark.

Thanks -- will definitely request a copy.

Thanks for that information. Is it possible to determine how many compliance points were deducted by the HPOF judges?
-
The longest trip I've taken is to the Fall meet at Hershey -- about 75 miles. Some say I baby it way too much -- I guess I do.
-
Thanks for your response. I completely missed form 3-11 in the Judging Guidelines. My car is entirely original except for the radial tires.

I received the HPOF award at this years Eastern Fall National. The next time I re-enter at a future National Meet, I understand I could be reevaluated for my 1st Original or repeat HPOF award. My question is what is required to be awarded an Original? I've reviewed the Judging Guidelines but could fine nothing specific regarding the requirements to earn the Original award. Also, the HPOF Certification Form does not reference anything dealing with the Original designation.

I will be driving my car to the Saturday show. What is the best exit off of Rt. 81 to take?
-
Thanks -- this is my first Hershey meet.

I will be driving my '48 Dodge to Hershey next Saturday for HPOF judging. I noticed there is a HPOF Certification Form. When do I fill out this form? Must it be submitted prior to the show?

Apparently when you upgrade to Windows 10, the DVD program/player supplied with the old operating system was deactivated. Microsoft wants you to purchase a DVD app from them that will work with Windows 10. There are free alternatives rather than purchasing the Windows version. Check out the link below or do other Google searches on this topic.

Here is my first new car --- a 1977 Dodge Aspen SE. The attached photo was taken at the Macungie Das Awkscht Fescht a few years back. The car has not been restored. What you see is exactly how it was driven from the showroom in 1977. Today my son owns this car.
Good luck in your search !

Suggest you check out the link below. It confirms what is stated in the Dodge History video ----- in 1922 "Dodge Brothers also launched the first all-steel car in the industry, a business coupe (essentially a two-door, single-row-seating sedan)".
-
Check out this video specifically at 3:20 -- states that in 1922, Dodge started using steel for their closed cars -- from 1917 to 1922, the bodies for the closed production cars were wood as noted correctly by Nearchocolatetown.

My '25 Fisher body coach (2 door) has a wood body. Fisher also supplied DB with a coupe body,
-
My '25 has been pushed to 45 mph on one or two occasions over the last 8 years on a very straight and lonely road. It absolutely purrs between 30 - 35 mph. Enjoy it at speeds below 40 mph.
-
One question -- what is the difference between a 1925 Type A and a Type B sedan???
-
There is a Dyke's Manual --- 12th edition on the Dodge Brothers Club website.

Check out this guy --- found him to be very fair.

Looks like pretty good deal. I interested in the drive train....but mainly the radiator, shroud and misc parts. Anyone interested in the frame and chassis? We could go in halves....
OTOH, I may buy it all and restore a second car.....anyone got any good rationale I can sell to my wife on why I 'need' a second car?
I can get it for $4,000. If anyone wants it for restore or parts....we could go in halves and split I it up for parts. I don't need any body parts. Or I could buy it and sell parts...
if anyone is interested, PM me with suggestions.
In my opinion, this car appears to be too nice (and complete) to be sold for parts.

With regard to the brass plates, why not contact someone who restores old license plates? Perhaps they have the know how to paint the black background.
Great looking car.
As a followup to my post, I had a 1925 PA plate restored by:
Paul Rawden
217 Alden Ave.
New Haven, Conn. 06515
e mail: PaulRawden@aol.com
I have no idea if he is still in business. He did a beautiful job on my plate.
Pot Metal Restoration

I seem to recall reading of a company that restores pot metal castings. For the life of me, I can't recall where I read this information. Does anyone recall seeing this article and the company's name?
