June 11, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 19 Dodge Senior Line Makes Appearance in Local Salesroom This week marks one of the most important events in Dodge Brothers' history--the introduction of the first model of the company's new line of fine six cylinder motor cars. The car put on display by W. T. Wersted, local Dodge Brothers dealer, is a four-door sedan, an impressive looking vehicle which is said to possess a truly remarkable motor. Within a few weeks two additional body types, a four-passenger coupe and a new type of cabriolet roadster, will be added to the new line of "sixes." Elaborate preparations for the ad- vent of the six cylinder cars have been made by Dodge Brothers. Last fall construction work was begun on one of the largest factory buildings in the world and throughout the winter and spring was rushed to completion. Actual production of the six cylinder line was started early in May. The initial production rate was about 50 cars a day. This has been rapidly stepping up from week to week and daily output is now running approxi- mately 200. By the end of June when the two additional body types will be in production, it will run fully 300 cars a day. The new line of "sixes" has been named Dodge Brothers Senior line to distinguish it from Dodge Brothers Standard line of four cylinder cars with which the company has built up its world-wide reputation. While the Senior line embodies nothing freakish, either in construction or performance, it is presented by Dodge Brothers as the last word 'n comfort and performance for cars in or near this price class. Beauty of Milk, the ideal food for warm weather! As the weather gets warm- | er parents must be careful to provide for their chil- | dren food that is not heavy and yet is nutritious. Milk is just the thing. design, exceptional performance, style and comfort of interior appointments, and ease and economy of operation are major attributes. One of the most impressive features of 'the motor is the extremely heavy crankshaft and -unusually large bear- ing area. The crankshaft is machined all over and weighs 69 pounds. Heav- ier than is used in any other engine of similar capacity, it is supported by seven extra large bearings. This fact, combined with exceeding rigidity, re- sults in a smoothness of operation that is said to be excelled by no other car, regardless of price. The motor is of the I-head type, chosen by Dodge Brothers engineers because of the simplicity of the valve mechanism and relatively infrequent need of adjustment. The bore is 314 inches and the stroke 4% inches, with 22398 cubic inches displacement. Its taxable horse power is 25.35, N. A. C. C. rating.
