History
Founding
With the intent of liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's
financial backers, William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen
called in engineer Henry M. Leland of Leland &
Faulconer Manufacturing Company to appraise the
plant and equipment prior to selling them. Instead,
Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile
business using Leland's proven single-cylinder engine.
Henry Ford's departure required a new name, and on
August 22, 1902, the company reformed as the Cadillac
Automobile Company. Leland & Faulconer
Manufacturing and the Cadillac Automobile Company
merged in 1905.

separation of the Ram brand, the new Dodge logo will
remove the ram's head and feature the word "DODGE"
on a black background with two red or gray inclined
stripes. The stripes imply skidmarks from tires left on
the road. The frontal emblem will feature only the
stripes inside a square.

When the Second World War broke out the operations
were complicated. In 1941 the Chevrolet 250.000 is
made, but the shortage of products made car
production impossible. The last Chevrolet goes out of
the plant in august, 1942. In order to avoid the total
stoppage, the company made electrical and portable
refrigerators and car accessories amongst other items.
After the war, GM started producing the Oldsmobile
and Pontiac lines and later Chevrolet is added.

Dodge vehicles have been sold in the Middle East for a

considerably longer period of time.
Australia
Dodge recently re-entered the Australian market in
2006 after a 30-year absence. Dodge Australia plans to
release a new model every six months for the next three
years, amid plans to re-ignite the brand's interest Down
Under. The first of such models was the Dodge Caliber,
which was well received at the 2006 Melbourne
International Motor Show. The second model to be
introduced was the Nitro, with the Avenger and
Journey following more recently.
Plattner Auto Group :As with most American brands,
Cadillac was forced to downsize its offerings between
the 1973 and 1979 fuel crises. Its staple De Ville and
Fleetwood were downsized for 1977 and again for 1985
when the cars were also changed to a front-drive
configuration. A downsized Eldorado debuted in 1979,
with a new bustleback Seville sedan introduced on the
same platform in 1980. Both the Eldorado and Seville
were further downsized in 1986 into the compact-car
class, with sales also shrinking.
