The Dodge Brothers, John and Horace, established their first machine shop in 1900. Ransom E. Olds and Henry Ford - among others - noticed their talents and bought engines, transmissions, and axles from the Dodge Brothers. By 1913, the brothers realized they could built their own automobile, a realization that coincided with Henry Ford deciding to move production of his cars' components in-house.

The Dodge Brother's cars quickly earned a reputation as a sturdy vehicle that offered superior reliability and could be run for years with only the most basic of maintenance.

This particular vehicle is a 1924 Standard Touring car that was acquired by Richard Roy from John Schramm, of Rockland, Maine, in 2003. It has remained part of the collection for 12 years. Former owners include John Colgan Futty, of Maryland, as well as Christopher Eby, of Paradise, Pennsylvania.

This Standard Touring car wears its original 91-year-old black paint, including on the fenders, and leather upholstery. The dashboard has its original finish and its original gauges. The mileage is recorded as 6,672.

Powering this Touring Car is an L-head four-cylinder engine displacing 212.3 cubic-inches and offering 35 horsepower. There is a three-speed selective-shift manual transmission and rear-wheel mechanical drum brakes.
