22 Dodge Brothers Touring ---Slightly optimistic owner

[Leif in Calif]

It does look like a nice car, but I'm not sure how it stacks up against the $40K Model Ts.  

I guess for $25K he felt washing one side was good enough.

Wow, some fantastic claims here!  Needs to be cleaned up and prepped for good photos, including shots of of under the hood.

+All original+ other than the paint and upholstery. Perhaps the seller re-spread the original dirt back onto the new paint job for effect? 🙄

Neat car. Would be fun to ride around with the top down. The tires may be old judging by the whitewall discoloration. Show him a pile of $100s totaling $16,000 and he might take it.

Maybe the hose didn't reach far enough because it got hung up on the tire, that happens to me sometimes.

Looks to have Washington state plates on it.

The seller needs to evaluate the market a bit more.  Many much better investment/driver antique automobiles are available for less money than this Dodge.

It's a shame the asking price and narrative for this car are so silly, as it actually looks like a very nice car. 

 

I've owned five early Dodge Brothers cars, and they are as reliable as they come, though not fast, 35-40 mph all day long. 

 

Even my current 1927 cabriolet DB, a supposed Fast Four, is only good for about 45, over that and the car doesn't like you very much....and that's with rebuilt mechanicals...

When Chrysler took over Dodge, they decided to keep using their Maxwell based 4cyl instead of Dodge's arguably better 4Cyl. The MoPar 4cyl was a mixed bag that didn't really get good until it's last year in the '32 Plymouth. I always think of these Dodges roaring across the desert with Pershing, searing for Pancho Villa. It is a neat car.

Could be but not at the market where I shop. Neat old car though. 

It's funny how many people get "original" and "redone to look original" mixed up. Intentional or not.
