Description

This 1926 Dodge Brothers express truck was donated to the museum by the local newspaper, the Boothbay Register, in the mid-1980s. It was never used as a working truck, but rather for special events and parades. The Boothbay Register also funded the restoration of this vehicle. This style of truck was considered an express truck and was used by merchants for delivering food and other products to customers. All trucks produced by Dodge at the time were powered by a four-cylinder engine.
