In 1924 Dodge re-styled their lineup adding louvers to the hood,
and extending the wheelbase to 116 inches. This 1924 The car
exhibits all of the standard features of the Special Series 116
cars built in 1924. Although all of the standard options for the
Special Series were available for every 1924 Dodge, the presence of
extra features such as plated radiator shell, automatic windshield
wiper and front and rear bumpers would seem to indicate that this
is a Special, not just fully-loaded standard edition. The 1924
Dodge Series 116 Special 4-door Sedan seated five people. The car
is outfitted with Budd-Michelin steel disc wheels, a rear-mount
spare tire & Boyce moto meter.
- engine runs smooth and seems to shift well. The
body does have rust present in the rear inner fender/body area and
the fender to running board. Otherwise, the car appears solid. It
has older repaint that is currently showing some chips and
checking, but overall the car presents itself well. The car is a 12
volt electrical system which was standard for Dodge at the time.
The interior is showing wear - and much if it could be original to
the car, including the headliner, door panels and roll-down window
shades in the rear seat-area. Seats appear to be redone at some
point. All is in the original style. One window crank is missing
and the lens for the amp gauge is cracked. Auxiliary turn signals
have been added. There is an extra transmission that will be
included with the car; extra transmission condition is unknown. The
tires hold air but are very badly cracked and all tires would need
replacement before driving. This model has a split tip-out
windshield with windshield sun visor and the rear glass has two BB
holes in it, but the rest of the glass is intact. The car has been
part of a large museum collection since 2008 and has been housed
indoors.
The car would be a great candidate for restoration or just a
mechanical refresh with new tires and have fun driving.
