1925 Dodge Brothers Series 116 news, pictures, and information

Roadster
 
This Dodge Brothers was purchased by Mr. Garnett's family in 1964. He completed the restoration in 1980. The automobile received its AACA Junior and Senior awards in 1980, and most recently the Savannah Music Festival Tour.

Horace and John Dodge began production of Dodge Brothers Automobiles in 1914. Previous to that time they had been major suppliers to Henry Ford and R.E. Olds.

Dodge featured a 12-volt electrical system. In the late 1950's the auto industry adopted 12-volt as the standard. Dodge utilized an all-steel body built by the Budd Corporation. Contemporary bodies were typically built over a wood frame. The starter and generator were combined in a single unit with silent chain drive. The starter could move the vehicle at low speed in the event of a stalled engine.
Coach
 
The Dodge Brothers machine shop of Detroit, MI began building engines, transmissions, and axles for Both Ford and Oldsmobile at the dawn of the auto industry. In 1914, they decided to build their own car and by 1920, Dodge was ranked second in sales, only behind Ford.

Dodge Brothers became the first United States auto manufacturer to mass-produce an all-steel body and first to use baked-on enamel paint. In 1925, they introduced this special Fisher body Two-Door Coach, which featured a 12-volt electrical system and automatic windshield wipers.
