Nate Dort Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 1918 Dort Touring Frame/Chassis. Includes front axle, spindles, steering rack and all four leaf springs as shown in photos. Free, but you need to come get it in the next couple weeks, otherwise I'll be forced to scrap it as I need the garage space back. Turn it into something cool, I've already got my hands full. 😄 Located near Detroit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 If you're in Michigan aren't there a dozen museums around there you could donate it too if no one else wants it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYorkBell Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Hello, I'm very interested in this frame for my 1918 Bell Motor Car project - Could you please private message me (its saying I can't send you a message) as I'd rather not post my phone number out on the forum. Thank you, - J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gossp Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 You might be well off to put the words free and Detroit in the title. Lots of guys with trailers going to be at Dearborn for the old car fest this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can contact me through my CL ad though. https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/pts/d/plymouth-1918-dort-touring-car-frame/7663530084.html Edited September 8, 2023 by wmtunate (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I looked into this today based on your suggestion. First contact was to GM Factory One in Flint, which was the original location of Durant-Dort Carriage, and Dort Motor Car Co. Their operations manager responded quite quickly that although it would make a great conversation piece, they didn't physically have room for it in the building. They suggested I contact Factory Two at the end of the block, as that was the actual building where this car was built in 1918. It now houses a community makerspace. I'll try to reach them next week.

Just sent a follow up - I found someone local to you who could pick up for me sooner than I could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
