The Dodge 30-35 was an early American car, the first car that presented the company Dodge Brothers in Detroit on November 14, 1914.

History

The car had a side-mounted 4-cylinder in-line engine with 3479 cc, which gave a power 35 bhp (25.7 kW). This capacity corresponded to 30 control horsepower , which explains the name 30-35.

Fitted with a leather cone clutch and a three-speed gearbox with middle circuit, the rear wheels were driven. The rear wheels were mechanically braked. In the short model year 1914, there was only a 4-door Tourer (whose driver "door", however, was not open), from January 1915 there was also a 2-door roadster with 2 seats. From this point on, the electric lighting was also part of the basic equipment.

When the series was replaced in July 1916 by the model 30 , a total of 116,400 copies had arisen, of which also 150 pieces were used by the US Army, among others, for the hunt for the Mexican bandit Pancho Villa .
