John and Horace Dodge opened a machine shop on December 14, 1900 in Detroit. They built precision parts for Ford and Olds. In 1914 they unveiled the Model 30, their first complete automobile, earning praise for durability and performance. By 1920 Dodge Brothers ranked as the third largest U.S. automaker. A record sale to Chrysler in 1928 marked the end of an era. Today Dodge stands for raw power. Its Charger and Challenger muscle cars headline a lineup that includes the Durango SUV and Hornet crossover. Under Stellantis, the brand is weaving electrified muscle into its portfolio with the Hornet PHEV and the all electric Charger Daytona arriving in 2024. Dodge is sharpening its focus on performance and embracing a future where muscle meets sustainability.
