Well, I don't want to start an argument, but I have a 1931 Dodge Brothers Coupe DG8 sitting in my garage at work. I have also, talked and e-mailed two other gentlemen whom have the same car. Also, if you check the new Dodge Brothers roster from this year, there is a couple in there too. I cannot find out how many were built. Would love to know though. Pete

The DG8 was also installed in some cars. Mostly the 4 door sedans. But also in some of the coupes. I have yet been able to find out how many. I have been to different sites and found conflicting numbers.

I have a 31, and they are painted. If that is any help. There is no sign at all of any kind of plating. Pete

Thanks John, I have already dropped the pan and cleaned the screen. The oil filter was a bolt on option in 31 it mounted to the side of the block btween the generator and distributor. I have found several for large trucks at flea markets etc. Nothing that will fit our cars. Pete

I have sent you an e-mail. If it doesn't get through, please contact me at pcmackay@myeastern.com. Thanks,Pete

Well, as some of you know by now, my complete car didn't come as complete as one would wish. I am in need of the bolts used to hold the brake lines to the back of the brake cylinders. Also, the thermostat assembly that controls the radiator shutters is the wrong one. Does anyone have these parts or know where I can get them? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Pete

I have a 31 DG8 Coupe. The temp sending unit was dissasembled by the previous owner. The tube is twisted off and the actual unit that mounts in the head is missing. Does anyone know where I can go to get this repaired? The rest of the unit seems ok, just old. Any advice would be apppreciated. Thanks, Pete

Seems the oil filter assembly was the wrong one.Thankfully the guy gave me the money back.

Just to update, I found the oil filter assy. Hope to have it on this weekend.

My Father and I are trying to figure out how to remove the forward most wooden frame member. It is encased in metal, the windshield on the outside and the interior framework on the inside. Is there an easy way to do this? Are we missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Pete

The car was hauled away today. I found a guy in Hemmings that had one for sale, I gave it to him to go along with his. Hopefully it can all end up in a good home. I'm just glad it didn't end up in the crusher. Thanks for the help. Pete

I am also looking for some parts. Does anyone have a source for parts for this vehicle? I need the oil filter assembly. The canister and lines are missing, along with the mounting bracket. Any help would be appreciated. Pete

I am going up on Wednesday to help with the car. I will take some pictures and get them posted here. Thanks, Pete

I have recently purchased a 31 Dodge DG Coupe. (see attached) I would appreciate any feedback as to where everyone is getting parts. Any highly recommended places? Places to stay away from?? Thanks in advance. Pete

Congradulations! It's a toy! Good Luck and Happy Motoring Pete

Harsh, I have just purchased a 1931 Dodge DG Coupe. It too has the straight 8 in it. Though I must admit I don't know alot about the car and am learning daily. If there is anything I can do with pictures etc. Please don't hesitate to ask. Pete Putnam,Ct.

My Father is working on a 31 model A. I am trying to help him figure out which model he has. The tag in the engine compartment is unreadable. He does know that it is 4 drs, Murray body style. But how do we determine is it 140, 155, 160 or 170?? Is there some body lines or styling that tell the difference?? Any help would be appreciated. Pete

I have a 1936 Buick rotting into the ground in my back yard. It kills me to think of sending it to the crusher. This car is a real mess, but something of interest if you have another your working on. It is free to anyone that can make use of it. The car is in Putnam, CT. Pete

I am looking for a steering wheel for a 38 Packard 120. Does anyone have one they would be interested in parting with? Thanks, Pete

I have just joined the club and purchased a 31 Dodge DG Coupe. Looking forward to getting to know you all. Does anyone know of any clubs up here in the New England area?
