I bought a new six-volt battery, added a little Marvel Mystery Oil to each cylinder and the 216-cubic-inch six-cylinder fired right up and ran well right from the start.

I replaced the water pump gasket, spark plugs, wiring and points, changed the oil and filter and flushed the coolant system. Starting with the fuel system, I replaced the leaky gas tank with a new one, flushed the gas line and rebuilt the fuel pump and carburetor. I never planned on a complete restoration and was pleased with what was accomplished in those two months. A little over two months later, вЂњDorisвЂќ was back on the road. I decided to name the car вЂњDorisвЂќ and brought her home on a flatbed trailer in August 2010. DickвЂ™s only stipulation was that I keep it stock, which was already my plan. Fortunately, Dick and DorisвЂ™s daughter, Cathy, was happy to sell it to me and was looking forward to seeing it on the streets of Centreville. I like minimally optioned older survivors, and this car fit that bill perfectly down to its single sun visor. When I first checked out the One-Fifty in the barn, I immediately knew that I wanted that car. Dick also had his very first car, a 1926 Model T Ford and the last pickup from the Cripe family farm near LaGrange, Ind., a well-kept 1954 International Harvester pickup. A young boy at the time, Dick tearfully requested that his grandmother spare the Dodge Brothers, promising to take very good care of it for the rest of his life. He also retained a few family vehicles including his grandmotherвЂ™s 1923 Dodge Brothers touring that, in the early вЂ™40s, was headed for the World War II scrap drive. Among DickвЂ™s vehicles was a Model A Ford, a 1929 Dodge and a 1953 Army Jeep. I had viewed his extensive and diverse collection in Centreville, Mich., and I particularly admired his collection of HI-C and Sinclair items as his father, вЂњDutch,вЂќ had been a Sinclair lubrication engineer and sales rep. Dick CripeвЂ™s CollectionДЇifty-five years later, in 2010, I was talking to my friend Dick Cripe, a well-respected collector of many things including family heirlooms and vehicles. Her father was fine with that idea, but suggested that rather than trading the вЂ™53 for a new вЂ™55, he would purchase the вЂ™53 from her and keep it on the farm. When she had a minor accident damaging the right front fender area, she again approached her father and told him she was planning on trading the вЂ™53 in for a вЂ™55 Bel Air two-door hardtop with an automatic transmission and the new V-8 engine Chevrolet had begun offering.

Two years later, although still at home, Doris was wiser, more financially stable and still not enjoying the manual transmission in her car.
