The Dodge was hugely popular following its introduction in 1914. Production in the 1920s was prodigious thanks to excellent reliability coupled with toughness and straightforward engineering. It's little surprise that buyers in remote areas, such as Australia, recognised the benefits of such a product. After the Dodge Brothers died in 1920, the company was eventually sold in 1925 for $146m, the largest cash transaction in industrial finance then known. The Dodge Brothers DA was the brainchild of John and Horace Dodge, two brothers who were instrumental in the engineering and production of the Ford Model T. The DA was the culmination of everything learnt from that venture and improved upon.

Understood to be one of just 6 examples built in this format and the only one in right-hand drive form, this stunning 1929 Dodge Brothers DA is finished in dark Blue with a very good Black interior and a Beige cloth folding roof. Recently the subject of a full service plus a suspension and brake overhaul, it appears to be in very good useable condition with marks and wear consummate with being almost one hundred years old. Offered with service history and other assorted paperwork, including some road rally details, there is a history file along with the current V5C document. A unique opportunity to own an incredibly rare right-hand drive 1929 Dodge Brothers DA.
