Hello ladies and gents today we are talking about the great DODGE.
Dodge is an American brand of automobile manufactured by Fiat Chrysler (formerly known as Chrysler Group LLC), based in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Dodge vehicles currently include the lower-priced badge variants of Chrysler-badged vehicles as well as performance cars, though for much of its existence Dodge was Chrysler's mid-priced brand above Plymouth.
Founded as the Dodge Brothers Company machine shop by brothers Horace Elgin Dodge and John Francis Dodge in the early 1900s, Dodge was originally a supplier of parts and assemblies for Detroit-based automakers and began building complete automobiles under the "Dodge Brothers" brand in 1914, predating the founding of Chrysler Corporation. The factory was located in Hamtramck, Michigan and was called the Dodge Main factory from 1910 until its closing in January 1980.
The Dodge brothers both died in 1920, and the company was sold by their families to Dillon, Read & Co. in 1925 before being sold to Chrysler in 1928. Dodge vehicles mainly consisted of trucks and full-sized passenger cars through the 1970s, though it made memorable compact cars (such as the 1963-76 Dart) and midsize cars (such as the "B-Body" Coronet and Charger from 1962–79).
The 1973 oil crisis and its subsequent impact on the American automobile industry led Chrysler to develop the K platform of compact to midsize cars for the 1981 model year. The K platform and its derivatives are credited with reviving Chrysler's business in the 1980s; one such derivative became the Dodge Caravan.
The Dodge brand has withstood the multiple ownership changes at Chrysler from 1998 to 2009, including its short-lived merger with Daimler-Benz AG from 1998 to 2007, its subsequent sale to Cerberus Capital Management, its 2009 bailout by the United States government, and its subsequent Chapter 11 bankruptcy and acquisition by Fiat.
And lets see whats its best car.
Featured in countless movies and television shows like The Dukes of Hazzard, the 1969 Dodge Challenger was a true breakout star. A muscle car in every sense of the term, the Challenger featured a mean 440 Magnum that churned out an impressive 375 horsepower.
The engine of the vehicle also weighed an unbelievable half a ton yet still held the ability to jettison past other cars on the road. The 1969 Dodge Challenger is a Dodge vehicle that can proudly say it’s not just great car, but also a pop culture icon. That even today we can recognise and enjoy and can still hang in the rooms of teen guys.
I hope you still enjoy this series and keep it going we are so close to 10k views please tell your friends and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
