Hello my name is James Sullivan. I am 38 years old and live in Arlington, Virginia. My father asked me to assist him this past weekend in cleaning a garage near my home where he had purchased a 1923 Ford Model T Touring. He is a member of the local Ford Model T club and had learned about the car through the club. He had indicated there was another car for sale in the garage, but he was unsure of the year, make, model, etc.
After the garage was opened, it was easy to tell it was a Dodge. A quick internet search revealed it is a 1932 based on the serial number 3572206. The car grew on me, and even though it is in rough shape, I bought it.
Yesterday we pulled out the Ford Model T. Both cars had been parked there in 1948. Hopefully we will remove the Dodge in the next few weeks. For some reason the front wheels had been removed and no longer have tires. Additionally I only have 3 wire wheels and few lug nuts. I found a fourth wheel on Ebay. Now I need to order tires and inner tubes. The last remaining tire indicates 5.25 X 18 as the size.
I primarily wanted to see if anyone had any advise as to parts sourcing, shop manuals, and do's and don'ts. I am an auto mechanic by trade and grew up working on Model T's and A's however I know absolutely nothing about 1930's Dodges.
Respectfully James Sullivan
