John and Horace Dodge introduced its vehicle in November 1914. The plan of the "Dodge Main" in the Detroit suburb of Hamtramck Dodge cars was 249 before the end of the year. The following year, the company produced 45,000 vehicles, which catapulted Dodge in third place in the first full year of the company as a manufacturer of complete line of automobiles.
