Founded by brothers John and Horace Dodge in Detroit in 1900 and producing complete automobiles by 1914, Dodge became one of America’s most recognizable performance marques. Its reputation was transformed during the muscle-car era by models such as the Charger, Challenger, and Coronet, powered by legendary engines including the 426 Hemi and 440 Six Pack. Dodge also built a formidable motorsport legacy in NASCAR and drag racing, while later icons such as the Viper carried its high-performance philosophy into a new generation. Today, significant Hemi-powered muscle cars, Vipers, and limited-production Dodges are highly sought after by collectors for their power, rarity, bold styling, and unmistakable American character.
