John and The Dodge Brothers, John and Horace, established their first machine shop in 1900. Ransom E. Olds and Henry Ford - among others - noticed their talents and bought engines, transmissions, and axles from the Dodge Brothers. By 1913, the brothers realized they could built their own automobile, a realization that coincided with Henry Ford deciding to move production of his cars' components in-house. The first Dodge Brothers car was delivered on 14 November 1914.
The Dodge Brother's cars quickly earned a reputation as a sturdy vehicle that offered superior reliability and could be run for years with only the most basic of maintenance.
The Dodge Brothers were innovative, and were the first to use an all-steel, all-welded body in large-scale production. Their ingenuity and talents helped move them into second in industry sales by 1920. Sadly, both brothers died during 1920, leaving the company to their widows. The company dropped to fifth place in sales by 1925. The company was sold to the New York banking house Dillon, Reed & Company for $146 million, who in turn would sell it to Walter P. Chrysler in 1928, who established the marque as its Dodge Division.
This particular 1925 Dodge Brothers Roadster is powered by a 212.3 cubic-inch, L-Head four-cylinder engine backed by a three-speed selective-shift manual transmission. It has rear-wheel mechanical drum brakes. The body is finished in green with black fenders and running boards over a black leather interior. There are green disc wheels, including the rear-mounted spare, each wearing Firestone whitewall tires. This roadster has the correct optional Special equipment, including a front bumper, running boards, cowl-mounted light, and rear-mounted stop light.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2016
