The Dodge DC series was a passenger car manufactured by Dodge in Detroit , which was introduced as the brand's first car with an eight-cylinder engine in January 1930.

The car had a side-controlled 8-cylinder in-line engine with 3617 cm³, which delivered an output of 75 bhp (55 kW). The rear wheels were driven via a single-disc dry clutch and a three-speed gearbox with center shift. All four wheels had hydraulic brakes. The wheelbase of the chassis was 2896 mm. A four-door Phaeton, a four-door sedan, a two-door coupé, a two-door convertible and a roadster were offered as bodies. In addition, the DC was also available as a chassis with all mechanical components for customers who wanted to commission a body shop themselves.

Production of the small eight-cylinder was stopped in September 1931.
