1918 Dodge Brothers Touring Car

Summary

After years of supplying engines and components to Ford Motor Company, brothers John and Horace Dodge introduced their own automobile in 1914. Their design didn't change much in its first years, but modification wasn't necessary. The all-steel body, sliding gear transmission and electric starter made the Dodge Brothers one of the most durable and reliable cars on the market.
