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.
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 im
provement has manifested itself in various
and impressive ways in a new degree of
riding comfort, a new smoothness of opera
tion, a new and appealing beauty of line,
and in those special details of appointment
which distinguish the Special Touring Car.
