Dodge

No history of American automaking would be complete without significant mention of the Dodge brand. Dodge was originally founded by the Dodge Brothers around the turn of the century as a supplier of parts for the burgeoning Detroit car companies, and by 1914, they began to put out their own vehicles. The company was acquired by the Chrysler Corporation in the late 1920s, and they have been in business ever since.

Dodge has produced a number of American classics over the years, and these days their line of trucks is extremely popular and well respecting in the industry. Dodge models that have made their mark over the years include the Challenger; the hot Dodge Charger; the Colt; the Dodge Coronet; the Matador; and the unforgettable Dodge Dart, which is one of the most indestructible American cars ever built.

These days, the Dodge brand is marketed successfully around the world. Some of their current models are the Caliber, the Avenger, the Viper, the Nitro, the Grand Caravan and the Dodge Durango SUV. When you make a good product and adjust along with the marketplace, you are bound for success, and the Dodge Company has withstood the test of time and emerged as one of the premier automakers in  the history of the industry.
