There is a feature on the company site with information about Dodge Brothers motors.

It can be hard to find so these are the links ..

IN ENGLISH or also IN GERMAN or latest find IN FRENCH la légende + Czech + Danish + Dutch + Chinese
& glory days

The time line covers the events of each decade, and there are "Dodge TV" video clips you can open.

(The red arrows above the time line are drop down boxes with text on the subject and some have QT Movies.)

So you are looking around for a cool used ride for a budget price, you've seen the product, looked over the helpful support from the ForumZ..

Now you've just gotta ask yourself one question ... Could you be Dodge Material ??


Cheryl Miller was the third successful Dodge spokesperson (1970-71). She was the tall blue-eyed blonde California girl. She had appeared in Flipper with animals (1965) which got her the role in 'Clarence the cross-eyed lion' and it's TV spin-off 'Daktari'.

Wow. I had never watched that infomercial. What a load of crockery. They keep showing off the SRT while talking about the CVT.

Plus, the douchebag tone of the presentator alone is reason enough I'm sure many customers were lost.

Dang. I couldn't have made any worse myself.

Good thing they made the Binky commercial though. Now THAT is advertising.

If you notice, on most car commercials on T.V. they show a beautiful car with nice wheels and a sunroof (etc,) for $22,000. Then at the end of the commercial there is very fine print that says........model shown with optional equipment suggested retail price of $34,995 LOL!!!

Pete, i could learn to love the Alpha Romeo MiTo. I like the front grill plus it favors the Caliber a little but with two doors. I like it.

Bump if you have bought a Caliber for the first time in the last 3 months and were unaware of it's marketing support.

I found the Dodge History presentation in a few more languages.

2022 the excellent job Daimler had done with it's global Dodge heritage sites has disappeared.

Until Stellantis brings back something similar here is a throwback to before we were Dodge Material-


Dodge was turning up the Fever with Joan Anita Parker (1968-69) from NY & the Batman movie (1966)

Smile Sleeve Gesture Happy Font




We were wanted for the Dodge Rebellion (1965-67) by Pamela Austin from Nebraska who had appeared in a couple of Elvis Presley movies.

Pilot announcement for Dodge dealers



Sales soared but Chrysler felt the women were more memorable than the cars !

It's a tradition

Jim Wilder, David Schmidt and Mark Nuss discuss the design, evolution and production of the SRT4. The Caliber SRT4 formula matches a powerful four-cylinder engine to a stout six-speed manual transmission to result in strong, reliable power. Aggressive styling cues inside and out are backed up by capable power, precise handling and phenomenal braking ability.
