The interior upholstery was redone in the 1990s and is soft, supple and very comfortable. The inner springs are in excellent shape and have been cleaned.

The headlamps and tail lamp work and all gauges and instruments are functional. Oil shows good 4lbs pressure and Dodge speedometer works well. Horn is there but not hooked up yet.

This is a great example of a Dodge Brothers automobile before they were sold off to Chrysler, you can putter around in this and enjoy a by-gone era. Has a 3-speed manual transmission that does require a bit of finesse to shift due to this being before synchro-mesh, but it isn’t hard. The brakes work as good as any 1920s car. The emergency brake doesn’t hold too well and there is some play in the steering, but that can be expected. Has a clean title.
