The original Dodge Brothers car. John and Horace Dodge had made parts for Ford before launching their own four-cylinder tourer in late 1914, with an all-steel body and 12-volt electrics when most rivals still used wood framing and six volts. It earned a name for toughness, helped by service with the US Army, and the four stayed in production until 1928.
