The Dodge Brothers Model 30[1] had the "-35" dropped from the name but largely remained the same as the Dodge 30-35 with mainly styling changes over its years of production. The main change was it increased the wheel base to 114". [2] It was manufactured in Detroit, Michigan.[3]
The car continued to have an L-head inline-four engine of 212-cubic-inch (3.5 L) displacement, which had a power output of 35 hp (26 kW).[4] This gave it a top speed of around 45/50 Mph. The car continued have an all steel body, 12-volt battery (while most auto manufactures were using 6-volt) and vacuum tank to pull fuel from the gas tank. It had a starter generator that was chained directly into the engine, this worked as both the generator and starter. In March of 1919 the Sedan was introduced.[5]
When the series was replaced in 1923 by the Dodge Series 116, a total of 820,000 Dodges were produced, making them the 3rd largest auto producer in the world.[6]
