A Brief History of Dodge
Horace and John Dodge founded the Dodge Brothers Company in 1900 and manufactured engines and other parts for customers like Olds Motor Vehicle Company and the Ford Motor Company. In 1914, John and Horace Dodge had developed a car of their own: the four-cylinder Dodge Model 30/35 touring car. Just two years later, Dodge was the second-highest selling car brand in the United States.
Unfortunately, both Horace and John passed away in 1920, and the Dodge Brothers Company was passed to their widows, who made long-time employee Frederick Haynes the company president. Dodge was eventually sold to Chrysler in 1928. In 1932, Chrysler built a factory for Dodge cars to be manufactured in Los Angeles, California. Dodge added safety features to their vehicles, like a smooth, flat dashboard with no protruding knobs, curved door handles, and padded front-seat backs for the benefit of the rear-seat occupants.
After World War II, Dodge was able to sell more cars, and the design of their vehicles improved with the hiring of corporate design chief Virgil Exner. With an upgraded design and the production of stronger engines, Dodge sales began to skyrocket in the 1960s as freeway travel became popular among Americans. The Dodge Charger became a bestseller and won several NASCAR races. The Cornet R/T and Super Bee also sold well with drivers seeking muscle cars. In response to the oil crisis of 1973, Dodge began releasing compact family cars like the Dodge Aspen, which was marketed as the "Family Car of the Future." Today, millions of Dodge vehicles are driven all over the world. If your Dodge ever needs custom exhaust modifications or diesel repairs, you can come to Performance Auto Care & Exhaust in British Columbia.
