Two brothers, Horace and John Dodge, began the Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle company in 1914, Their first vehicle was a touring car and soon after it was soon joined by a roadster and a four-door sedan. By 1917, the company's model lineup had grown to include trucks. The Chrysler Corporation bought the company from the Dodge brothers in 1928. From there, the brand grew into the division responsible for trucks and performance-oriented cars. Post WWII, Dodge introduced vehicles like the military-inspired Power Wagon truck, Hemi-powered Coronet and the Royal Lancer.
Vehicles like the Dodge Dart and the Custom 880 kept the Company alive throughout the 1960s. That decade also saw the launch of one of Dodge's most iconic vehicles, the Charger. Dodge's muscle car was based on the Coronet platform, and featured a fastback roofline, hidden headlamps and a full-width tail lamp panel. Best of all, the Charger could pack one heck of a wallop under the hood. A 318-cubic-inch V8 was standard, but buyers seeking maximum brawn could upgrade to a 426-cubic-inch, 425-hp Hemi V8. The company also introduced a Mustang fighting pony car, called the Challenger, in 1970.
Like other American auto manufacturers, Dodge's fortunes started to slip in the 1970s due to the fuel crises and increased competition. The company was saved from bankruptcy in the early '80s thanks to government loans and the sales of its Omni and Aries economy cars. But 1984 was when Dodge made its mark in the history books with the introduction of the wildly popular Caravan. Ideal for families and able to seat up to seven, the space-efficient Caravan started a whole new vehicle segment -- the minivan. The early '90s saw the company wow the public with the V10-powered Viper roadster and the all-new Ram pickup.
Today, Dodge is a division of DaimlerChrysler, a result of the merger of the German company Daimler (owner of Mercedes-Benz) and Chrysler. The company's lineup includes everything from trucks, minivans and SUVs to high-performance coupes and sedans.
