Dodbeßrothers SPECIAL TOURING CAR The first cars bearing Dodge Brothers name were Touring Cars. They were good and sturdy cars, so good and so sturdy that no radical change in basic design has been found necessary during these ten intervening years. i This fact has had far-reaching results. It has enabled Dodge Brothers to dedicate those ten years to the constant betterment of the original product. More recently this endless process of improvement has manifested itself in various and impressive ways—in a new degree of riding comfort, a new smoothness of operation, a new and appealing beauty of line, and in those special details of appointment which distinguish the Special Touring Car.
