Absolutely love this ....especially when preparing a 1937 Dodge Brothers truck to a 1957 392 chrysler hemi engine and push button transmission ....dream come true

The video misses some key background on the reasons Ford and Dodge Bros parted ways. It also doesnt correctly depict how the Dodge brothers came about with ownership of stock in Ford. Ford didn’t give it to them, he offered it to them for the consideration of components and a bank loan. Ford was expanding and with the building of the Rouge plant he often was looking for creative ways to manage cash flow. He also knew he needed to keep parts moving to his plants uninterrupted. So for the $10,000 they fronted by way of parts and cash, they gained some leverage, and felt like they were going to keep their business more secure to keep their company growing. Essentially, it was a debt/equity deal. Little did the Dodge Bros know that Henry was beginning to build the same components Dodge had been providing at Rouge. His plan was full vertical integration. Additionally, Ford under pressure of unionization by the Wobblies increased worker’s wages by double, paying the infamous $5/day. This “diluted” profitability for the company all while Ford intended to keep vehicles affordable so every employee would want one and buy one. The repressed pricing of the vehicles along with the large increase in payroll, the continued expansion of the Rouge plant, all diluted and essentially eliminated the dividends the Dodge Brothers were entitled to. So they sued Ford, settled and turned their $10,000 investment into $30,000,000+. Not bad, as they continued to build their own vehicles to compete with the less refined Ford vehicles. The rest is history. Never doubt that both companies, although key and important to one another, were fierce businesses that were very strategic in how and why they did what they did. Too many accounts soften the hardcore strategies and ruthlessness deployed by both and others in an industry poised to make many families and companies wildly rich.

I love how this video explains the history of the dodge brothers with the voice and visuals from when dodge brothers times it just makes it more like elegant or entertaining

Mopar Man thru and thru. My 1978 Aspen Sedan with the slant six is still on the road and going strong. So is my 1986 Aries-K. Never needed to buy a newer car!

So basically dodge brother was tired of Chevy and Ford and had the Germans beef up the muscle basically

Well let's see I have a 68 Chrysler 300 and 8 of the 72 to 80 trucks 4 of which are ex-military

My grandpa always drove a Dodge or Plymouth. He had a '54 pickup, '68 Polara, and the one I rode a lot in, his '74 Coronet he bought brand new. My Dad's first car in high school was a '59 Royale that he said had swivel seats in the front.

Please tell me they are not making the challenger electric : (

My uncle loved dodge God rest his spirit. I know he would be proud of my new(old) 98 cummins 12v

Dodge has crumbled.

Did you know, that the Dodge Dart, in Australia, was turned into the valiant. VF and VG where the two models. (I think) Also, my dad has a VF valiant, with a V6, with V8 parts mixed up with it.

Dodge forever dodge now dodge everyday

I've own 8 Dodges over the years. Currently still driving my 08 Dodge Truck... minus any factory emblem on it that says "Dodge". Maybe a collectors truck in about 50 years! (I know they are now Rams but in 2008 that wasn't official yet)

They sure went to hell

Dodge is Dodge! Charger is Charger 🔥

I worked for a Dodge dealership back in the day of the Omni, Horizons and K(mart) cars. They were horrible little cars and had no reliability. They flooded the shop bays daily. The K car came from when K-Mart gave Chrysler a bail out to keep the company out of bankruptcy. If you look you will see the K on the car and the K in Kmart match. It was a stipulation that Chrysler put the K on the car. I'm surprised they didn't sell the cars at Kmart on isle 12!

I was made 11 19 1993 like the VIPER

the omni was a big lemon....you notice how long it was around?......lol....my sister had a 1980 it was in the shop more than any car ever.

Who's here after it got sold to the french😕

Damn they died from the spanish flu #LongliveDodge⏸️

DeSoto was a branch of Dodge

Henry Ford made 22 accounts to dislike this video.

The only downside to dodge is their transmissions. Other than that, on par with chevrolet.

NEXT: the history of this video

i LOVE.DODGE.BROTHER$$..

That was very nice of them to give their workers a cold one while working on the assembly line. But hope they did not abuse their privileges drinking to much on the job or might have seen some messed up Dodges.

Tin Lizzy was still better then Old Betsy. get it.

From Pontiac MI, there used to be a car named after us, but anyway, I have and always will root for Chrysler group!

I just busted a nut.

Dodge WW2 military trucks are great.

I became part of the dodge family last weekend and did it right!. 2004 Ram 1500 crew cab/long bed hemi 4x4.

The dodge I just sold thank God the biggest pos I have ever owned

Loads of AWESOME early history....too bad they did not continue.

Look at Dodge now !

Dodge pinto

If you come upon a ram dodge it but if you can’t dodge it ram it

is the 318 motor made buy Chrysler or dodge

Lol “warlord poncho villa” more like Robin Hood like figure in Mexico that got fucked over by the United States Army

Lol dodge is the best and made ford what ford is today. We all been educated wrong as the first car was ford bullshit whrn really dodge made it for henry to call it a ford lol. Plus the hemi that dodge built ford try to do as well but faoled and suck alot ass lol. Their engines did run for long. And their is a reaspn why ford today blow up all the time. Its the fact thaey cant build shit without dodge back then. It pnly seems like when dodge brothers build assembeld for ford they pretty much try to immitate the way dodge would build things and failed and thats why all these years they have had issues til this day

I have my suspicions

Pershing used Dodge vehicles in his punitive invasion of Mexico. Poncho Villa also favoured Dodge and was eventually assassinated while riding in a Dodge car.

Dodge used to be really good but now is the opposite

This feels like a video we're being shown as dodge 'new-hires'
