I THINK this could be an early version of GB Truck Builder. In the beginning they used the original rear end coupled to the Torbensen with chains like this.

What's this between the radiator cap and the emblem?

 

Could it be a flag holder? I have one that slips to top of radiator before the cap is put on.

I guess it could be, do you have a photo of what yours looks like for comparison?

 

At first I thought it was some sort of compass, but then when I zoomed in it looks like some sort of filter element. Neither make any sense for where it's placed.

Very curious item.

Solids on the rear too... I'd agree, you may be right.

Good eye, Doug. 

 

I wish the site I found these photos on had more details but it was all very general details. Will try and find out more.

That race car is unusual, body is very narrow.

Since it was in the area, I wonder if it ever raced at the Beverly Hills track in the early 1920s against some of these racers? 

Doubt it but you never know..., they built it for some kind of racing.

 

 

Or maybe Culver City track during the 1927 era. 

Going to keep searching till I find something.

Too far south...

 

Let me know if the one on the left is not a DB and I'll delete this

1932 Dodge Brothers railcar Matheran, India used as the only access to the town. It is now in the rail museum.

This is a Postal rail car this time, used in Victoria Australia.

 

 

 

Now looking a little tired but currently under going a full restoration in Daylesford Victoria.

Double seater facing opposite directions?

Wake up!   

 

Simply Stunning

 

Thank you for posting this photo.  I have looked for images of the two tone paint scheme for late 1927 sport roadsters and have had difficulty finding any.  This is awesome.  Thank you.

And a British bodied Dodge Brothers.

I also liked the old style advertising.

 

And Necco are still in business.

Most were built in timber and often fall into disrepair, a lot were in regional farming towns many of which are losing the youngsters and losing their services. 
 

Here is one in Penshurst, still standing and full of motoring stuff but no longer being used as a garage.

Larrikins were very much alive in those days.

That’s some good old bush engineering. 

[Minibago]

Bush engineering?

By now you Aussies know how efficient our US Postal Service is. 
In America we call that expedited services.

[Minibago]

Not a Dodge but I like it nonetheless.

 

As I understand it, this particular town did not allow motor vehicles so they would hitch the horse up. 

 

[30DodgePanel]

You're okay, as long is it's not a Ford  

 

 

Left to right: J.B. DeWinkeler, George K. Small, F. Bethuser, Mrs. Bethuser, and Miss Stiles beside the Dodge truck affectionately called the Speed/Weed Wagon.

Photographed in Everglade prairie southwest of Royal Palm Hammock, Florida.

 

Early J.T. Cantrell or Babcock work?

Unusual front end on this 47 Dodge truck. I don't ever recall seeing this style. 

 

No info with the photo.

What about motorhomes?

This is made from one hollowed out log.

This is a story I really admire, a chap and his wife and then the family travelled the US countryside for years singing for their supper.

I have the name and details somewhere.

More of Roy Chapman - Andrews.

Not a very old photo but a nice one belonging to one of our local lads, John Churchill who drives his Dodge Semi Trailer (tractor trailer I think you call it) just about everywhere.

Here is a dealership in NewZealand.
