Funny, it's a small world. I'm watching this from nearby Warren. I am related to the Dodge brothers and was trying to find videos on the Dodge family and this came up!
20 years old. First car I drove was a 1981 Dodge Ram w150. That my grandfather owned. And well I can't lie. It's still going to this day. Needs some work. But it still does what Dodge brother set out do a long time ago.
Dodges were in the Red Green Show.Drove a full size Dodge Van and the K cars were used as project cars.The creator of this show does drive Dodges.Were in several movies too and one popular TV show,Dukes of Hazard
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.
Randy Kirchhevel ....that's one of the most sophisticatedly sarcastic laden comments I've yet seen, because the build quality on all Chrysler products is so bad that the assembly workers had to be drunk when they put those piles together....
JBMSTRIKER71 ....why would you think they would bring up the mistake Chrysler made pairing up an asian manufacturer? All Asian cars suck mansack bro....
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)
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.
My first car was a Dodge. A 1994 Dodge Spirit. It had spirit and defiantly earned the name. Because of this car, I became a Mopar fan. No it was not an R/T but despite that, it's what made me a fan to this very day. The 1968/69/70 B-Body Chargers and the modern day Challenger/Charger are my favorites! The 1969 Coronet is pretty great looking too!
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
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.
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.
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!
When I was a kid, my Dad had a 1954 Dodge pickup that he fitted with a 354 Fire Dome Hemi with two 4 barrel WCFB Carter carbs, a push button 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission and 5:40 rear gears. It ran low 11s in a quarter mile and he dropped me off at school in it daily! Coolest Dad ever!
They forgot that the 354ci 355hp hemi was the first 1 hp/cubic inch american car in 1957. They were making massive amounts more power than the Famed Chevy smallblock when it came out. Chrylser 300s would easily dust a corvette even though they weighed hundreds of pounds more. Chrysler 300s actually held multiple speed records.
Perfect example of something great that's been turned into shit by the new breeds of enterprise visionarys that have no interest in humanity, posterity, or artistic sincerity. Only profit.
I have talked to One of the lead engineers of chrysler Bill Hahn from florida who created the 420a engine and neon-srt4 family of cars. I own a 1970 dodge charger 500 with the god mighty 440.
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
Born and raised in detroit and didnt kno about history of dodge until now.. i found a 2014 100th anniv dodge challenger and new challenger wasnt 100 years old..
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.
Henry Ford only had the Dodge brothers to rely on. Had it not been for them there would not be a Ford Motor Company. The Dodge Brothers were already millionaires years before Ford.
where did you get this information? pls send me this article. Henry Ford was an inventory - he would have been fine on this own I believe. At least he didn't start off making bicycles...
@@rockandroll4689 Lol. Amazing what an education will do for you. Henry was a miserable failure several times over, until he GOT A 3K cash loan and 7k chassis loan from the Dodge Brothers. It's all well recorded in the history books Chief. You just have to slow down and do the research. While Henry was trying to leap big steps, the Dodge Brothers were starting out small, but doing things right. That's HOW they had the machine shop and the cash to front Henry what he needed to get his shytte together FINALLY to start Fomoco. Strong personalities, even stronger work ethic and drive. Henry was very tight with his Mom and not so much with his Dad. When a boy doesn't follow his Dad's lead,,,, it's tougher for him to get established. I think that's what held Henry up in his early years away from home, but he was from good stock, and hanging with solid mechanical genius' like John and Horace Dodge, influenced him in the right direction and eventually,,they became wildly rich together. But same as siblings can come to blows and bad ends when they drift too far from love and honor,,, Henry had a deep desire to be a king in his realm and that makes for lonely people without much in the way of friends. Like Stevie Nicks sang 60 or 70 years later,,,, "Rulers make bad lovers,, You better put your kingdom up for sale" Everyone has to choose what they want to be. Cain, or Able. Warring, or Peaceable. There's volumes of life lessons to be observed in all of history, let alone what we learn from our fathers. Henry and John and Horace had some great opportunities. They moved on a handful of them,,, just imagine if they had had more honor and respect amongst themselves.
Depending on the model it still is. Pickups are were they are the strongest. Uncles D150 had more miles towing WAY more than it was designed for than any Ford or Chevy owner I know. Old Dodge products used IRON in that had Higher Nickel content than FOrds/chevies so the engines lasted MUCH longer. my 1993 Dakota still has cross hatching marks on the cylinder walls at @50k when I decided to up grade the cam and port the heads. I will say Post 727 automatics were made to shift soft and my wore out at @100k. Not the parts problems...just a poor engineering decision to lower line pressure. Use to love kicking the shit out of Mustang drivers at Englishtown when I was young. I still think Ram has the highest american speed limiter...Sadly Chevy's are limited to only 99 mph. My truck doesn't have a limiter..... I use to push 911 turbos out of the left lane on the NJ turnpike at about 120 mph.
Dodge made great cars at one time. Nowadays they manage to turn out lousy POS cars. Fiat is a cheap ass junk car from the git go and the Dodge engineers like good little boys and girls followed Fiat into the 'cheap shit' pile of crappy cars. I would not accept a new Dodge or Chrysler product for free because they are designed to be unreliable cheap CRAP. I once owned a Dodge 'Little Red Express' truck and I loved it, and it was fast and rugged. Thank God Ram broke away from Fiat/Chrysler because Fiat drags everything down to the 'cheap shit' pile where it wallows in badly designed dangerous junk.
You do realize... Fiat hasn't spent any... money, redesigning the line up since Mercedes Owned Dodge??? So it's still Merecedes Benz productions (NOT FIAT) and still Used Mercedes chassis parts. All THe FIat Talk is BS...by people that Don't know anything. FYI, Fiat owned ferrari for 25+yrs....So if you consider everything fiat owned POS...Then the F50/ Enzo etc were too. Fiat owns Alfa Romeo and the Guilia is 1 badass luxury sedan.
Fiat compró a Chrysler y por qué han separado dodge de RAM y quede RAM una sola marca que cuando john Harvey decía le pegó bien a la RAM y RAM debería centrarse en camiones medianos
I have a dodge and it out lasted my sister's honda accord, her husbands toyota 4runner, ex landscaper bosses F-series and in better shape than my step fathers chevy 1500. I do admit the old truck autos didn't last, nor did the paint... But I have almost no rust on my frame when my step father's chevy that is 6 yrs newer is about to fall apart.
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!
Talking out your ass. All current dodges were designed when/before Mercedes sold dodge. FYI, Ferrari was owned by FIAT for 20 yrs.... so the F50, ENZO, 458 are FIATS.
Funny, it's a small world. I'm watching this from nearby Warren. I am related to the Dodge brothers and was trying to find videos on the Dodge family and this came up!
