"1929 Dodge truck... I spotted "Miss Ethel" while driving on Route 66 and traveling through Oatman, Arizona. It's an old mining town, that was once famous for all the gold that was mined in the area.. Now the atractions are the wonderful wild mules that walk and roam the streets of Oatman. They are so sweet and love to be petted and fed. If in the area, I would say stop by...It's not a destination, but a nice stop on the way to somewhere else.. Have a wonderful weekend 🌟
.,"Dodge launched a half-ton pickup for 1929 just after its acquisition by Chrysler, the last truck designed by the old Dodge Brothers company. Three engines were available - two Dodge engines with six cylinders (63 and 78 hp), and a Maxwell four cylinder that produced just 45 hp. The trucks had four wheel hydraulic brakes, a major safety feature unique among pickups....Beginning in 1933, Dodge trucks abandoned the old Dodge Brothers engines and used Chrysler Corporation engines instead, modifying them for durability. The six cylinder engine was the flat-head six used in Plymouths, which continued through 1960." (All Mopar, "History of Dodge Pickup Trucks, 1921-1953") Now you know the rest of the story.."
