Dodge
History Brief:
In 1901, John Francis Dodge and Horace Elgin Dodge moved their
Dodge Brothers Bicycle & Machine Factory to Detroit, Michigan. Their
bearings and other parts were in demand with the early automobile
industry, and they helped design motor parts for early
Oldsmobiles.
In 1902, the Dodge
Brothers helped finance the start of the
Ford Motor Company as well as manufacturing parts for early Fords,
to Ford and the Dodge Brothers mutual financial benefit.
In 1914, the Dodge
Brothers started their own auto company, which they named the Dodge
Brothers Motor Vehicle Company, choosing 50 dealers initially from
hundreds of applications, some of which remain successful today. In
1917, Dodge Brothers began building trucks, at first for use by the
United States Army during World War I, then commercially after the
war's end. |
