In the early 1900s, two bicycle makers were destined to change the auto industry forever-- they were
the Dodge brothers, John and Horace. They began their careers as bicycle machinists in their father's
shop in Michigan. Upon moving to Windsor, Ontario, Canada, they adapted their skills to meet the needs
of the fledgling automotive industry and found success producing intricate auto parts.
It wasn't long before John and Horace came to the attention of Henry Ford. He was so impressed with the
brothers that he offered them one-tenth interest in his new motor car company.That partnership lasted for
the next 12 years.The Dodge brothers then split from Ford to pursue their own interests in automobile
manufacturing because, at the time, Ford cars were built with virtually all Dodge parts. When asked why
he and his brother wanted to build their own car, John Dodge reportedly said, "Think of all the Ford
owners who will someday want an automobile." In 1914, Dodge Brothers, Inc. was formed. In that first
year, Dodge introduced the "Old Betsy," a rugged car built for reliability and durability. That year
Dodge built a total of 249 new cars.In 1928, Chrysler acquired the much larger Dodge Brothers, Inc.

Dodge continued expanding its line of vehicles, including the famous 4x4/6x6 WWII Military Vehicle series.
A squad of soldiers was expanded from 8 to 12 men, so the 6x6 became an excellent choice for squad-transport !

Other Dodge vehicles became legends themselves:
The Dodge Ambulance, the Dodge Command Car, the Dodge Carry All and the Dodge Weapon Carrier series.
Inside their vast range of WW2 Vehicles the WC (Weapon Carrier) vehicles stand out because of their
powerfull engines and capacities on all terrain, transporting soldiers or payload all over the world.

The Weapon Carrier 62 is a six wheel drive truck that can conquer any terrain at a 45/60 degree angle.
Sand, snow, mud or a lethal combination of all three: the Dodge Weapon Carrier grumbles with delight !
