Minibago Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 More Australian content, this was taken on the road from Mt Compass to Adelaide in South Australia, returning from their holidays (vacation) judging by the suitcases on the running board. What do you think, 1919 or 1920? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Ok, lets see if this works. The first is a 1915, check out the crazy body. The last I'd like to find the delivery in the center. These are from Rodger Dodger's collection. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Matt, you probably can. You can do anything else car related. I've seen many of his drawings since he was maybe 10. Quite an amazing talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 (edited) The second photo of the Business Commercial Cars look like something straight out of a brochure. Awesome stuff Doug. Thanks for sharing those. No doubt Rodger had a good eye.... Edited May 8 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nat Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I think this is why the rear tire pressure is supposed to be higher than in the front. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted Tuesday at 11:45 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:45 AM A nice shot taken outside Winterbottom, the DB dealer, in Perth, Australia in 1918. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted Tuesday at 03:07 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:07 PM If you look closely at the service car you can see that it was a touring with the back part of the body removed. Look under where the rear door would have been. The railing along the top, seems to be a fairly common style. I have seen photos of Ford Model T and A service cars that used a very similar style rail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minibago Posted Wednesday at 10:45 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:45 AM This is a rather nice spread of the early Dodge Brothers range outside the Melbourne DB agents Canada Cycle and Motor Company in LaTrobe Street Melbourne Victoria Australia. The quality allows for enlargement which shows every detail. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minibago Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago This is a photo of the workshop at Co-op Motors, Argyle Street, Hobart Tasmania, the longest continuous running motor agent in Australia. They ceased being the DB agents in 1959 but continue on with currently the Toyota agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
