I-American Institute: Dodge Trucks Kuyo yonke Iminyaka

Amaloli e-Dodge asehambe ibanga elide kusukela ekuqaleni kwawo okuphansi ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20. Ngo-2019, kwathengiswa amaloli amasha e-RAM angaphezu kuka-630,000 e-US kuphela, kodwa-ke, lo mkhiqizo ubusengozini yokukhishwa kaningi esikhathini esedlule.

Funda umlando wamanye amaloli adumile aseMelika ake enziwa kanye nezindlela ezihlakaniphile ze-Chrysler zokuhlala ubalulekile futhi ulondoloze uhlobo lokuqothuka. Yini eyenza amaloli e-Dodge abe yingxenye ehlala njalo yomlando wezimoto? Qhubeka ufunda ukuze uthole.

Okokuqala, funda ngomlando wenkampani, owaqala ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19.

The Dodge Brothers - Isiqalo

Isithunzi sikaHenry Ford sawohloka ngemva kokuqothuka okuningi ekuqaleni kwawo-1900. Wayefuna umphakeli weFord Motor Company, futhi abazalwane bakwaDodge bamsiza.

Njengoba iFord Motor Company yayisisonqenqemeni lokuqothuka, abazalwane bakwaDodge babezazi kahle izingozi ezinkulu. Bafuna ukuba no-10% weFord Motor Company, kanye nawo wonke amalungelo ayo uma kwenzeka iqothuka. Abazalwane baphinde bafuna ukukhokhelwa kusengaphambili u-$10,000 XNUMX. AbakwaFord bavumelana nemibandela yabo, futhi ngokushesha abazalwane bakwaDodge baqala ukuklama izimoto zakwaFord.

Ubambiswano lube lubi kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelwe

UDodge ukhiphe yonke eminye imisebenzi yakhe wagxila ngokuphelele kwaFord. Ngonyaka wokuqala, abazalwane bakhela uHenry Ford izimoto ezingu-650, kwathi ngo-1914 izisebenzi ezingaphezu kuka-5,000 250,000 zase zikhiqize izingxenye zezimoto ezingu-XNUMX XNUMX. Imiqulu yokukhiqiza yayiphezulu, kodwa abazalwane bakwaDodge noma uHenry Ford abazange baneliseke.

Ukuthembela kumphakeli oyedwa kwakuyingozi ngeFord Motor Company, futhi ngokushesha abazalwane bakwaDodge bathola ukuthi kwaFord babefuna ezinye izindlela. Ukukhathazeka kukaDodge kwakhula nakakhulu lapho bebona ukuthi iFord yakha umugqa wokuqala womhlangano onyakazayo emhlabeni ngo-1913.

Indlela abakwaFord abaxhasa ngayo ngempela abazalwane bakwaDodge ngezimali

Ngo-1913, uDodge wanquma ukunqamula isivumelwano neFord. Abazalwane baqhubeka nokuthuthukisa izimoto zakwaFord ngomunye unyaka. Nokho, izinkinga phakathi kwaFord neDodge azigcinanga lapho.

I-Ford Motor Company yayeka ukukhokhela isitokwe se-Dodge ngo-1915. Yiqiniso, i-Dodge Brothers yamangalela i-Ford nenkampani yakhe. Inkantolo yavuna abazalwane futhi yayala abakwaFord ukuba bathenge amasheya abo ngamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-25. Lesi samba esikhulu sasilungele abazalwane bakwaDodge ukuthi bazenzele inkampani yabo ezimele.

Okokuqala Dodge

Imoto yokuqala eyake yenziwa iDodge yakhiwa ngasekupheleni kuka-1914. Idumela labafowethu lahlala liphakeme, ngakho ngisho nangaphambi kokudayiswa kokuqala, imoto yabo yayihlinzekwa abathengisi abangaphezu kuka-21,000 1915. Ngo-45,000, unyaka wokuqala wokukhiqiza we-Dodge Brothers, inkampani ithengise izimoto ezingaphezu kuka-XNUMX.

Abazalwane bakaDodge baduma kakhulu eMelika. Ngo-1920, iDetroit yayinabasebenzi abangaphezu kuka-20,000 ababekwazi ukuhlanganisa izimoto eziyinkulungwane usuku ngalunye. I-Dodge yaba uhlobo lwesibili lwaseMelika eminyakeni emihlanu nje ludayiswe okokuqala.

AbakwaDodge Brothers abakaze benze iveni

Bobabili izelamani bafa ekuqaleni kwawo-1920, sebedayise amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezimoto. Ngaphandle kwezimoto zabagibeli, iDodge Brothers ikhiqize iloli elilodwa kuphela. Kwakuyiveni yokuthengisa, hhayi iloli. Iveni yokuhweba yakwaDodge Brothers yethulwa ngesikhathi seMpi Yezwe I kodwa ayizange ibambe iqhaza ekudumeni kwemoto.

Abazalwane abazange benze iloli, futhi amaloli akwaDodge neRam athengiswa namuhla azalwa enkampanini ehluke ngokuphelele.

Qhubeka ufunda ukuze uthole ukuthi uDodge waqala kanjani ukuthengisa amaloli.

Abazalwane bakaGraham

URay, uRobert kanye noJoseph Graham babenemboni yengilazi ephumelela kakhulu e-Indiana. Kamuva yathengiswa futhi yaziwa ngokuthi i-Libbey Owens Ford, eyakha ingilazi embonini yezimoto. Ngo-1919, abazalwane abathathu bakhiqiza indikimba yabo yokuqala yeloli, ebizwa ngokuthi i-Truck-Builder.

I-Truck-Builder yathengiswa njengenkundla eyisisekelo ehlanganisa uhlaka, ikhebhu, umzimba kanye negiya langaphakathi, amakhasimende ayengakwazi ukulenza ngokwezifiso ukuze livumelane nezidingo zabo ngabanye. Amakhasimende ajwayele ukuhlomisa amaloli ngezinjini kanye nokuhanjiswa okuvela ezimotweni ezijwayelekile zabagibeli. Njengoba Umakhi Weloli ekhula ekudumeni, abazalwane bakwaGraham banquma ukuthi kwase kuyisikhathi sokuzakhela elabo iloli eliphelele.

Graham abazalwane iloli

Iloli leGraham Brothers libe yimpumelelo ngokushesha emakethe. Abazalwane bavakashelwa uFrederick J. Haynes, owayengumongameli weDodge Brothers ngaleso sikhathi. UHaynes wabona ithuba elihle lokungena emakethe yamaloli anzima ngaphandle kokuphazamisa ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto ze-Dodge.

Ngo-1921, izelamani zakwaGraham zavuma ukuthuthukisa amaloli afakwe izingxenye ze-Dodge, kuhlanganise nenjini ye-Dodge engu-4-cylinder kanye nokuhanjiswa. Amaloli angu-1.5-ton athengiswa nge-Dodge dealerships futhi athandwa kakhulu ngabathengi.

AbakwaDodge Brothers bathole iGraham Brothers

I-Dodge Brothers yathenga intshisekelo yokulawula engu-51% ku-Graham Brothers ngo-1925. Bathenge ama-49% asele ngonyaka nje, bathola inkampani yonke futhi bathola izitshalo ezintsha e-Evansville naseCalifornia.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwalezi zinkampani ezimbili kwaba yizindaba ezinhle kubazalwane abathathu bakwaGraham, njengoba bahlala beyingxenye yenkampani futhi banikezwa izikhundla zobuholi. URay waba umphathi jikelele, uJoseph waba iphini likamongameli wezokusebenza, futhi uRobert waba ngumphathi wezokuthengisa weDodge Brothers. Abazalwane baba yingxenye yenkampani enkulu nethuthuke kakhulu. Nokho, ngemva nje kweminyaka emibili, bobathathu banquma ukuyishiya i-Dodge Brothers.

Ngemva kokuba abakwaDodge Brothers bethole uGraham, inkampani yathengwa umgadli wezimoto.

UChrysler uthole iDodge Brothers

Ngo-1928, i-Chrysler Corporation yathola i-Dodge Brothers, yamukela izimoto ze-Dodge kanye namaloli akhiwe ngu-Graham. Phakathi kuka-1928 no-1930 amaloli amakhulu ayesabizwa ngokuthi amaloli akwa-Graham kanti amaloli amancane ayebizwa ngokuthi ama-Dodge Brothers. Ngo-1930, wonke amaloli akwaGraham Brothers ayengamaloli e-Dodge.

Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, izelamani ezintathu zakwaGraham zashiya i-Dodge ngo-1928, zithenge i-Paige Motor Company nje unyaka ngaphambi kokuba zihambe. Abangu-77,000 bathengisa izimoto ezingu-1929, nakuba inkampani yaqothuka ngo-1931 ngemva kokuphahlazeka kwemakethe yamasheya ka-Okthoba 1929.

Iloli lokugcina labazalwane bakwaDodge

U-Dodge wethula iloli elithwala i-half-ton ngo-1929, ngemva nje konyaka u-Chrysler ethenge inkampani. Kwakuyiloli lokugcina elaklanywa ngokuphelele iDodge Brothers (inkampani, hhayi abazalwane ngokwabo).

Iloli lalitholakala ngezinketho ezintathu ezihlukene zezinjini: izinjini ezimbili ze-Dodge ezinamasilinda ayisithupha ezinamandla angu-2 nama-63 ngokulandelana, kanye nenjini encane eyi-four-cylinder Maxwell enamandla angu-78 nje kuphela. Bekungelinye lamaloli okuqala ukufakwa amabhuleki adonsa ngamasondo amane, okuthuthuke kakhulu ukuphepha kwezimoto.

I-Chrysler Dodge Trucks

Kusukela ngo-1933, amaloli e-Dodge ayenikwa amandla yizinjini ze-Chrysler, ngokungafani nezinjini zangaphambili ze-Dodge. Izinjini ezinamasilinda ayisithupha zaziyinguqulo eguquliwe, eqinile yesikhungo samandla esisetshenziswa ezimotweni zePlymouth.

Ngawo-1930, u-Dodge wethula iloli elisha elisindayo ohlwini lwayo olukhona. Kuwo wonke ama-30s, kwenziwa izibuyekezo ezincane emalolini, ikakhulukazi ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwezokuphepha. Ngo-1938, kwavulwa indawo yokuhlanganisa amaloli e-Warren eduze kwaseDetroit, eMichigan, lapho amaloli e-Dodge asahlangene khona kuze kube namuhla.

Uchungechunge lwe-Dodge B

Indawo yeloli i-Dodge yangemva kwempi yakhululwa ngo-1948. Yayibizwa ngokuthi uchungechunge lwe-B futhi yaba isinyathelo soguquko senkampani. Ngaleso sikhathi amaloli ayebukeka kahle futhi emahle. I-B-series beyihamba phambili kakhulu kulo mqhudelwano njengoba beyinekhabethe elikhudlwana, izihlalo ezinde kanye nezindawo zengilazi ezinkudlwana, ezaziqanjwe ngokuthi "ama-pilothouse" ngenxa yokubonakala okuhle nokungabi bikho kwamabala angaboni emehlweni.

I-B-series yayicatshangelwe kakhulu hhayi kuphela ngokwesitayela, amaloli nawo ayethuthukile ukuphatha, ukugibela okunethezeka kanye nomthwalo omkhulu wokukhokha.

Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, uchungechunge lwe-B lwathathelwa indawo iloli elisha sha.

Uchungechunge C lwafika eminyakeni embalwa kamuva

Amaloli ama-C-series amasha akhululwa ngo-1954, eminyakeni nje emihlanu ngemva kokuqala kochungechunge B. Ukwethulwa kochungechunge lwe-C kwakungelona nje iqhinga lokumaketha; Iloli seliklanywe kabusha ngokuphelele kusukela phansi kuya phezulu.

U-Dodge unqume ukugcina ikhabhu "yendlu yamasondo" yochungechunge C. Ikhabhu yonke yayiphansi phansi, futhi umkhiqizi wethula i-windshield enkulu, egobile.
