Today Marks 100 Years for Dodge

Dodge is celebrating 100 years in the auto industry. Two brothers, John and Horace, founded the auto company in Detroit, Michigan. Before the brothers built their first vehicle in 1914, they built engines for Ford Motor Company. The two were so good at building parts that Henry Ford asked them to build the new Ford Model A. The brothers did so but only after negotiating to receive a share in the company. But, the Dodge brothers wanted to go in their own direction. On this date, July 14, 1914, the two brothers branched away from Ford, and Dodge became its own company. Dodge’s first vehicle, Old Betsy, rolled off production lines in November later that year. To celebrate 100 years, Dodge has come out with a special edition Challenger and Charger. Come into Joey Accardi of North Broward to see our great selection of Dodge vehicles!
