Guest irgr8one Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Just found out that my mothers boss has decided to give me a Christmas present. Long story short he gave me his first car, a 1927 Dodge Brothers Coupe. It has been in climate controlled storage since I first saw it over 15 years ago. I am officially the 2nd owner. I am going to need some help. Where do I start? It will need some repair, and it has not been run for at least 15 years. I am stationed outside of the country, but I will be back next year, and would like to get at is when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest irgr8one Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Thank you. Do you know where, or if, there might be manuals for these old cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Sometimes ( I think often but I really dont look out for stuff prior to 28 much ) they pop up on e-bay, reprints are prob. avail ( almost for sure ) thru Myers early Dodge parts. If you have no luck than let me know, I think I have a service manual of some sort for your car that I can make copies of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1936 D2 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 "Faxon Auto Literature" in Riverside, CA may also be able to help.1927 Dodge items - Get great deals on Dodge Truck and Van Manuals items on eBay Stores! - "Mechanic's Instruction Manual 1914-1927" and: 1914-1933 Dodge Car Parts Book 1927 28 29 30 1931 1932 - eBay (item 400175684578 end time Jan-22-11 18:53:18 PST) - "Master Parts List 1914-1933".What a GREAT way to start in the hobby! You may want to consider leaving this car as original as possible! It is a PERFECT example of an original '27 Dodge Coupe!!! In the long run it may even have more value that way. Even so, it would be an excellent way for others in the future to know "what is correct"!!! You are doing it right! Do your research. Find out as much as possible about the car before you do anything! Get help from these forums, the "Dodge Brother's Club" members and befriend those with the same model car.What a great time this is for you!
