FactDodge named this car after its own wheelbase, 116 inches, and geared the rear axle down to cap it near 40 mph.
The Dodge Series 116, named after its 116-inch wheelbase, was a middle-class automobile made by Dodge from July 9th, 1923 to 1926 as their main model. It was updated in 1924 with a higher hood line, a rear brake light and new springs. It came with a three-speed standard manual transmission and an advertised 35 horsepower flathead four-cylinder engine (212.3 cu in), the rear differential gearing having been reduced to give a top speed of around 40 miles an hour, slightly slower than earlier models. It had an all-steel body, a starter generator chained directly into the engine and a vacuum tank for pulling fuel into the carburetor. Luxury optional equipment, depending on body style, included door locks, a transmission lock, an exhaust heater, disk wheels or wood-spoke wheels with demountable rims, and roll-down windows.
