History ID this ‘20s-era Roadside Find

Friends sent me these pics of an old car they spotted near their farm a few days ago. Any ideas what this is?

 

I have an idea Clark, but I'm gonna wait and see what others say.

 

It will be interesting to see what this turns out to be, so I am in. When I first saw this picture I thought it was a Durant Star of the 20's. Headlight bar is correct, fenders are damn close, wood spokes even fit, even the grill shell is similar but the Star grill shell is a little different. Like I said will be interesting to see what it is.

 

The dust cap on the front wheel should have a Brand on it. Go back and look at it.

 

REO?

 

Looks like an early 20's Dodge to me. I know it's always a Dodge,but this time I believe it's true.

Ain't no Dodge, it's a Dodge Brothers.

 

Facts are facts, and truth is truth. I say 1924 Dodge Bros , or thereabouts. They seem to be the only pre-war car I can identify. Clark, you might post it on the sitting anx rotting picture thread also.

 

Locomobile

 

What they should have done was step on the grass by the wheel. Then you could have read the hub cap.

 

My guess was Dodge.

 

Thanks guys! I was hoping for an ID before the Rose Bowl kickoff, and you didn't dissappoint. Consensus appears to be '24 Dodge Bros. Engine perhaps still in question.

And yes, a better look at the hub cap would have removed much of the mystery. But the friends who alerted me to this are not car folk. I'm just glad they think of me whenever they spot something.

I'll put it on the Sitting and Rotting thread for posterity.

 

Please save it. That's too cool to leave to rot

 

.....what he said!...plenty there to save, if you don't want to build it just see if it can be bought and pass it on!

 

I'll definitely look into it. I got the impression they know the property owner. I'll bring my trailer next time we visit and see what can be done.

 

That's a 1932 Henway.

You guys are slipping. This post has been up for 2 hours and all we have is serious posts. Is there a hamb wide new year resolution I dont know about?

 

It’s always a damn dodge !!!

 

Well, it looks like this is just the first one for the year, they must have built a lot of them, as many of them that seem to pop up here on the Dodge friendly HAMB

 

Nope, the engine is DB also. Serial number should be on a plate in the upper right hand corner on the passenger side floorboard, AND above the right shackle mount on the frame.

 

Dodge Brothers.I was at an antique auction(not car related) a couple of those wheels came up.Auctioneer kept saying the D B stood for Duesenberg !!!!!

 

Or Dumb Bastard!

Doug, I agree, for sure Dodge Brothers but what is up with the cowl? It looks to have nail holes and I see a lot of wood framing. Not a Fisher body is it? You would know.

Dave

 

Not sure, it doesn't look like a coupe. It could be the illusive Fisher sedan? I'd like to see a better side photo.
