30DodgePanel Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Good stuff Minabago... thank you for sharing those. They're all new to me. From the Ford digital collection online. Having a hard time with this one folks If you all want it deleted just let me know. According to the caption online: Henry Ford met with Ford Motor Company branch managers aboard the Hornet, a 96-foot steam yacht owned by Horace Dodge. Horace, along with his brother John, operated Dodge Brothers Company, which produced transmissions, axles, and engine parts for Ford's Model T. The Dodge brothers began manufacturing their own automobiles in 1914. Any truth to the fact it was Horace's yacht? I personally have a hard time believing that one.

30DodgePanel Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Has anyone ever seen one of these signs in a photo or otherwise? I think it would be amazing to see this sign as it was probably a deep Cobalt Blue with White or Clear letters I'm guessing based on the description. I'm thinking of making a larger metal version (2'x6') for my shop now that I've seen this.

I often wonder if we've seen them and may not even know it since they were probably advertised under a different automakers name? Meaning, maybe someone knows of a Cadillac or Ford that has one of these bodies but maybe they are badged Cadillac or Ford. How would we really know at first glance until we dug deeper.

Minibago Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The Canada Cycle Company were the agents for Dodge Brothers cars in Melbourne Australia in the 1920’s. To promote the opportunities for various businesses including tourism and agriculture a “Reso” tour (National Resources and Development) (acronyms in 1927) was organised by the Victorian Commissioner for Railways. The rail only went as far as Oodnadatta so Vehicles were sourced for the inland exploration, these were Dodge Brothers in the main. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Wow, that is amazing stuff. Thank you for sharing some of the early Australia happenings. Imagine there is much more out there... Here's something I thought was interesting. Not a photo but still very unique and hardly discussed. How many of us can say we've seen this Graham Brothers logo before? Some of you may recall a unique GB emblem on eBay about a year ago that went for a pretty penny, I believe it had this same logo on it if memory serves me correct. Did anyone save a photo of it or did anyone on here buy it? Would love to know if we can learn more about the years it was used.

nearchoclatetown Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 If there is any logic to DB/GB this SHOULD be 1919 to 1921. I have not seen this insignia before that I noticed. The Speed Truck ad I saw last week was from 1919 and GB started building truck under contract to DB in 1921. Prior to 1919 GB built Truck Builder trucks, like the DBC owns. I was just sent pictures of a Truck Builder down under in a museum. The pictures were taken some time ago, not sure if the truck is still there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattml430 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Some more family photos. My wife’s granddad was a road building contractor. The government came and took all his equipment from him in the start of the war and took it all to Darwin to build airstrips. They basically gave him nothing for it all. Judes grandad and his brother, we think picking cabbages. Judes dad in his chev that he bought after his 27 dodge was vandalised at a water hole. He said some kids smashed everything on his dodge tourer, even the spark plugs. We are not sure who this is but it was in the same family album. Not sure about this one either but it sure looks like they have worked hard all day. Judes dad only bought this album to us on Tuesday just gone. He is a spritely 93 one of the men that really built this country by hard work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) I wasn't going to post this for obvious reasons but I think it shows how far we've come in society no matter what some will have you believe in todays news. I'm sure most of us can look past the degrading message and agree in the beauty of this commercial car while recognizing it for it's historical content in automotive context.
