Nā mea
ʻO ka moʻolelo Dodge Brothers
ʻO kēlā me kēia mea pāʻani kaʻa e lohe e pili ana i ka poʻe e like me John Francis a me Horace Elgin Dodge. Mahalo iā lākou, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka Dodge Brothers Bicycle & Machine Factory, e hana ana i nā hana mana kaʻa nui loa a nā miliona o ka poʻe i moeʻuhane a moeʻuhane. ʻO nā huahana hōʻailona i kānalua ʻole ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona o Dodge Brothers he mau kaʻa kaʻa nui a me nā SUV i kaulana mau loa, ʻoi aku ma waena o nā ʻAmelika.
He hoʻomaka paʻakikī i ka mākeke kaʻa
Ua like loa ka moʻolelo o nā kaikunāne Dodge me kekahi moʻolelo o kahi hui nui. Ua hoʻomaka lākou mai ka wā kahiko a hiki i ka piko o kā lākou mau moeʻuhane. Ua hoʻomanaʻo kekahi o nā kaikunāne i kona wā kamaliʻi ma hope o nā makahiki he nui me nā huaʻōlelo: "ʻO mākou nā keiki ʻilihune loa ma ke kūlanakauhale." ʻO kā lākou hana paʻakikī, hoʻolaʻa, a me nā mākau i lilo ai lākou i paionia ma kā lākou kahua. Ua ʻike maikaʻi ʻo John i nā mea hoʻonohonoho a me nā mea kālā, a ʻo ka ʻōpio ʻo Horace he mea hoʻolālā akamai. He nui ka aie o na kaikunane i ko lakou makuakane, nana i hoike mai ia lakou i ke kumu o ka mechanics ma kona hale hana. Koe naʻe ʻo ia i ka hoʻoponopono waʻa, a ʻo ka makemake nui o John lāua ʻo Horace, ʻo ia ke kaʻa kaʻa.
ʻO ka makahiki 1897 ka hana nui mua no nā kaikunāne, no ka mea, ʻo ia ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ʻo John e hana me kekahi kanaka i kapa ʻia ʻo Evans. Ua hana pū lāua i nā kaʻa kaʻa me nā ʻeke kinipōpō i manaʻo ʻia ʻoi aku ka pale ʻana i ka lepo. He mea nui ma ʻaneʻi ua hana ʻia ka bearing e kekahi kaikunāne. ʻO kēia ka mea i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ʻo Evans & Dodge Bicycle. No laila, ua lawe nā kaikunāne Dodge i ʻehā makahiki e lilo i kūʻokoʻa kālā a hana no ko lākou kūleʻa. No kekahi manawa ua hana lākou i ka hana ʻana i nā ʻāpana ʻāpana no ka brand Olds, kahi i kaulana nui ai lākou i ka mākeke kaʻa.
ʻO Henry Ford a me Ford Motor Company
ʻO 1902 kahi holomua maoli i ka ʻoihana a John lāua ʻo Horace, no ka mea, ua hele mai ka pilikua kaʻa hou iā lākou a hāʻawi i ka launa pū ʻana. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Henry Ford e hilinaʻi i nā kaikunāne a hāʻawi iā lākou i 10% stake ma kāna hui ʻo Ford Motor no ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi haʻawina $10 i kāna hui. Eia hou, ua lilo ʻo John i Hope Pelekikena a Luna Hoʻokele. I ka hala ʻana o nā makahiki, ua kaulana nā kaikunāne. ʻEwalu mau makahiki ma hope o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi hui me Ford, ua wehe ʻia ka mea kanu mua ma Hamtramck, kokoke i Detroit. I kēlā me kēia lā ua nui nā kauoha, makemake nā mea a pau e loaʻa kahi hana mana o ka ʻenehana i hana ʻia e Ford a me nā kaikunāne Dodge.
Ka paio o na pono
Ma hope o ka manawa, ua hauʻoli ʻo John lāua ʻo Horace i kā lāua hana no Henry Ford, ua manaʻo lākou e hiki ke hana hou aʻe, a ua hoʻoholo lākou e hana i kā lāua kaʻa ponoʻī i hiki ke hoʻokūkū me kekahi ʻano hoʻohālike Ford. ʻAʻole paʻakikī ke kuhi he kūpono ʻole kēia no ka hoa. Ma ka hoʻokumuʻana i nā pilina, ua manaʻolanaʻo ia no ka ulu wikiwikiʻana o kāna hui a me nā limahana hoʻolaʻa. Ke makemake nei e hoʻonui i nā kaikunāne, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e wehe i kahi hui lua e hana ana i nā kaʻa, ʻo ke kumu kūʻai he $ 250 wale nō. ʻO nā hana a Ford i hoʻokuʻu i ka mākeke, e hāʻule ana nā ʻāpana o nā hopohopo ʻē aʻe. Ma kēia kūlana, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Henry e kūʻai aku iā lākou ma mua o ke kumu kūʻai. Ua hoʻoholo nā kaikunāne Dodge ʻaʻole e hāʻawi i ka hoa a hāʻawi iā ia e kūʻai aku i kā lākou mau ʻāpana, akā ma ke kumukūʻai hoʻonui. I ka hopena, ua loaʻa iā lākou ʻelua haneli miliona kālā. E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo kā lākou hāʻawi ʻana iā Ford he ʻumi tausani wale nō. ʻO ka hoʻopukapuka kālā a John lāua ʻo Horace he mea ʻike honua a ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea waiwai loa a hiki i kēia lā.
ʻoihana kūʻokoʻa ʻo Dodge Brothers
Ma hope o ke kaua me Henry Ford, ua nānā nā kaikunāne i ka hana ʻana i ko lākou manaʻo ponoʻī. I ka wā o ke Kaua Honua Mua, ua kau inoa lākou i kahi ʻaelike me ka pūʻali e hana i nā kaʻa kaua. ʻO kēia ka mea i alakaʻi iā lākou i ka mākeke automotive US. He mea ʻike ʻia ua lawe lākou i ka lua o ka pae ma hope o kā lākou hoa pili mua.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua make nā kaikunāne Dodge ʻelua ma 1920, ʻo John mua ma 52 a ʻo Horace he ʻumikumamākahi mahina ma hope. Ma hope o ka make i manaʻo ʻole ʻia o nā kaikunāne, ua lawe kā lāua mau wahine ʻo Matilda lāua ʻo Anna i ka hui. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole lākou i pani i kā lākou mau kāne. Ma muli o nā mākau hoʻokele haʻahaʻa a me ka ʻike ʻole o ka ʻike loea, ua hāʻule ka hui mai ka lua a i ka pae ʻelima i ka pae. ʻAʻole hoihoi nā keiki a John lāua ʻo Horace i ka lawe ʻana i ka makua kāne a me ka holo ʻana i kahi ʻoihana. Ma kēia kūlana, ua hoʻoholo nā wahine e kūʻai aku i ka hui ma 1925 i ka waihona kālā hoʻopukapuka o New York ʻo Dillon Read & Company. ʻEkolu mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā Dodge Brothers i loko o ka hopohopo Walter Chrysler. ʻO nā makahiki e hiki mai ana i hōʻailona ʻia e ka hoʻomohala hou ʻana o ka hōʻailona, i hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka puka ʻana o ke Kaua Honua II.
ʻO Dodge Brothers, Chrysler a me Mitsubishi
Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ke Kaua Honua II, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Chrysler a me nā Dodge Brothers e hoʻi i ka pāʻani. ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, ma hope o ke kaua, ʻaneʻane 60% o nā kaʻa ma ko mākou alanui Polani no nā kaikunāne Dodge.
I ka makahiki 1946, ua hana ʻia ka Dodge Power Wagon, ka mea i manaʻo ʻia i kēia manawa ʻo ia ka kaʻa huki mua. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻiʻia ke kaʻa ma ka mākeke a ua hanaʻia me ka hoʻololiʻoleʻia no nā makahiki he iwakālua. Eia kekahi, i ka makahiki 50, ua hoʻokomo ka hui i ka mīkini V8 i kāna huahana. I ka manawa lōʻihi, ua lanakila ka brand Dodge i ke poʻo inoa ma ka māhele kaʻa haʻuki Chrysler.
I ka makahiki 1977, ua hana ʻia kahi hana hou i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka brand - ua kau inoa ʻia kahi ʻaelike me ka hopohopo Mitsubishi. ʻO nā "keiki" i hānau ʻia mai kēia hui pū ʻana he mau hiʻohiʻona hoʻohālike e like me ka Lancer, Charger a me Challenger. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua kū mai nā pilikia me ka mua o ka mea hope i ka makahiki 1970, i ka wā i kū ai ka pilikia wahie i ka mākeke. Ua komo nā kaikunāne Dodge, hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi i hiki i ka ʻAmelika maʻamau ke lawelawe.
Ua hoʻi hou ʻo Dodge i ka papa mele me ka hiʻohiʻona kaʻao hou loa, ka inoa kūpono ʻo Vipera.
I kēia lā, hoʻokumu ʻo Dodge, Jeep a me Chrysler i ka mea hopohopo ʻAmelika ʻo Fiat Chrysler Automobiles a ua helu ʻia i ka hiku o ka papa inoa o nā mea hana kaʻa nui loa o ka honua. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, i ka makahiki 2011 ua hoʻōki lākou i ka lawe ʻana aku i ʻEulopa.
