1923 Dodge Brothers Series 116 Touring Car – A Rugged, Exceptionally Equipped Twenties Icon

Price: $16,900

Step out of the shadow of the ubiquitous Ford Model T and experience the premium engineering that made the Dodge Brothers a powerhouse of early American motoring. Now available at Premier Auto Sales, this 1923 Dodge Brothers Series 116 Touring Car is an incredibly honest, highly original survivor showing just 20,000 miles. Famed for their uncompromised structural integrity, Dodge Brothers vehicles were heavily favored over competitors for their wider bodies, conventional transmissions, and rugged dependability. Offered at $16,900, this shiny black open-air cruiser is a remarkably correct, period-optioned time capsule that runs and drives beautifully.

Superior Engineering: The Sturdy 4-Cylinder & 3-Speed Standard Gearbox

Under the classic louvred hood sits Dodge’s legendary L-head 4-cylinder engine, pushing out a robust and dependable 24 to 35 horsepower. Unlike the finicky and antiquated planetary gear pedal system found in a Model T, this Dodge Brothers machine features a traditional, easy-to-operate 3-speed manual transmission. Built with an all-steel body structure, a heavy-duty frame, and large artillery-style wheels, this Series 116 handles the road with vastly superior road manners, tracking straight and absorbing real-world bumps with absolute confidence.

An Imposing Aesthetic Packed with Rare Period Accessories

Draped in a deep, highly polished coat of Shiny Black paint, this Touring Car stands as a visual masterclass in 1920s automotive style, proudly sporting an array of rare, highly sought-after vintage accessories:

• The Crown Jewel Radiator Guard: Crowned by its highly collectible, original Boyce Moto-Meter radiator cap cap widget, providing real-time mechanical temperature readings directly to the driver.

• Premium Lighting & Weather Upgrades: Upgraded with a vintage, cowl-mounted Monarch accessory spotlight alongside a complete set of original side curtains for all-weather touring protection.

• Winter Cabin Luxury: Equipped with a rare, highly prized vintage coal footrest heater designed to keep passengers cozy during crisp autumn foliage tours.

An Honest Cabin Ready for Open-Air Boulevards

Open the low-slung doors to reveal a beautifully preserved interior lined with nice leather upholstery stretching across both expansive rows of seating. The cockpit centers around a gorgeous, rich wood steering wheel and early-era mechanical instrumentation.

The vehicle features a rear-mounted spare tire and its original rear glass window integrated into the back of the convertible top. Please note that while the structure is remarkably complete, the convertible top fabric needs a minor repair to return it to show-field perfection—a straightforward project that allows its next caretaker to add immediate equity to a highly collectible asset.
