WillysVA Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I need some help identifying the car in the photo. I believe it is an early 1920s Dodge Brothers five passenger touring. What do you think? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattml430 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Looks like around 24 but it has a funny looking bumper on it or is that just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Keiser has a better memory then I but I think the bumper was made by Weed, an aftermarket company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it looks like an aftermarket item. Could be Biflex, Buckeye, Bullard, Bright, C.G., Defender, Eaton, Federal, Halladay, Stewart, U.S.E. or Weed. Lots of companies made lots of bumpers.

MikeC5 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It looks like the tall radiator and cowl was used on the 116" wheelbase car that was put into production 1924 to me. I am no expert by any means though. Assuming the photos in this link are labeled properly, a major change came when the taller radiator and hood/cowl was used (https://www.flickr.com/groups/carguide/discuss/72157624482003866/) Look at how the earlier cars how the top of the headlights are almost even with top of the radiator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillysVA Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 The reason I'm trying to identify the car, is because when I was 11 my grandfather passed. As the family was cleaning out his house, I found an old steering wheel that I kept and now believe belonged to the car in the photo. Could the steering wheel be from this car?

nearchoclatetown Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 If the hub hole is 7/8 inches. With two keys means it probably is for the DB. Looks in good condition. He may have replaced it with a fatman wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
