Introducing the remarkable 1926 Dodge Brothers Roadster, a stunning example of classic automotive craftsmanship. This roadster boasts an all-steel body, retaining its original roadster structure while showcasing a unique blend of vintage charm and modern enhancements. Key original components include the cowl, trunk lid, hood sides, grill shell, radiator topper, and headlight buckets, all of which contribute to its authentic appearance.
The rear fenders have been expertly widened by three inches to accommodate a more aggressive stance, while the original front fenders have been thoughtfully modified to enhance the car's overall design. The doors, door pillar, hinges, dash insert, and quarter panels are all hand-built, reflecting an exceptional level of craftsmanship. The one-piece hood, which hinges on both sides and features custom hidden latches, adds a sleek touch to the vehicle's profile.
This remarkable build features a custom firewall and hand-fabricated running boards, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship that went into its creation. It includes a bespoke front splash apron and uniquely designed bumpers, with the rear bumper constructed from solid stainless steel for both durability and sophistication. The windshield frame has been modified to achieve a more aerodynamic silhouette for the roadster.
The classic vehicle is adorned in a custom red paint, utilizing a base coat clear coat finish that exudes depth and brilliance. The original 1926 frame has been reinforced for enhanced strength and stability, paired with a Mustang II front suspension system that significantly improves handling and ride comfort. The Ford 9" rear end features ladder bars and coilover shocks, providing exceptional performance and adjustability.
At the heart of this stunning roadster is a 350 Chevy crate engine, coupled with a 700R4 transmission, ensuring a smooth and vigorous driving experience. The interior boasts custom leather upholstery that elevates both comfort and style, making every journey pleasurable. This roadster is equipped with American Rebel Sprint wheels and shaved sidewall tires, contributing to its aggressive and sporty appearance.
Notably, this impressive Dodge Brothers Roadster was showcased at the Builders Showcase during the 2022 NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, emphasizing its outstanding design and craftsmanship. The engine, sourced from Jegs, is a 383 blueprint producing 405 horsepower, complemented by a custom radiator from a performance garage. The frame has been powder-coated, and the entire brake system has been upgraded with components from MP Master Power Brake Company. The front end has been replaced with a Fatman setup, and the suspension is entirely new, featuring A-arms, shocks, and springs. The car was stripped down to the bare frame and meticulously rebuilt from the ground up, effectively making it a brand-new creation.
The construction of this vehicle was led by David Green, father of NASCAR drivers David, Mark, and Jeff Green. Following his passing, Jeff Green completed the build before the car was acquired by Canes. Jeff, a former NASCAR champion, has raced for prestigious teams such as Richard Childress, Dale Earnhardt, and Haas Racing, among others. His involvement in NASCAR underscores his commitment to quality, ensuring that no corners were cut during the construction of this exceptional car.
