Project Car!!! Very Rare!!! I have only found a few pics to the car on the internet. My father bought this car in the early 60's. He did the body work, frame work and engine work. However it has been sitting in a shop since the late 1960's. I have several parts to go with the car. The car has wooden wheels and I have put a picture of a restored car with this. The picture was found on the internet just to give you an idea of what it would look like restored. Not sure what the mileage is on the car. They made me put a number on the form. This was copied from Wikipedia Just wanted to give a little background on the Dort Motor Company. I know the basic information on the below information is true. The Dort was an automobile built by the Dort Motor Car Company of Flint, Michigan from 1915–1924. Dort used Lycoming built engines to power their vehicles.Dort Motor Car traced its history back to its founding as the Flint Road Cart Company in 1884 by William Crapo Durant and Josiah Dallas Dort, who sold wagons, built by local suppliers for $8 apiece. In 1900, the company, which by now was making 50,000 wagons, carts, and carriages annually, changed its name to Durant-Dort Carriage Company. Dort was a Director and Vice President of Chevrolet in 1912; in 1913 Dort stepped down and by 1915 he and Durant cut their business ties.By 1917, Dort was offering four models: a closed sedan at $1,065, a convertible sedan at $815, a five-place open tourer at $695, and a Fleur-de-Lys roadster at $695.[1] By contrast, Ford Model Ts were selling for $440 in 1915.[2]Dort continued manufacturing cars until 1924, when the mounting price of development and distribution of the vehicles made it impossible to compete in the automotive markets of the 1920s. Josiah Dallas Dort’s death in 1923 sealed the fate of Dort Motors.
