In this exciting history of Dodge and Ram trucks, award-winning automotive author Patrick Foster details the genesis of today’s hot-selling Ram pickups, vans and four-wheel-drives. Beginning with the Graham Brothers who built the first trucks sold through Dodge dealers, Foster traces the path of Dodge commercial vehicles through the terrific Dodge trucks built during the Roaring Twenties and into the Depression Thirties. Foster then takes us into the war years, 1941-1945, when Dodge manufactured a broad array of war materiel including the mighty WD and WF trucks which later morphed into the now-legendary postwar Dodge Power Wagons. Next, Foster dives into the decade of the fabulous 1950s: a golden era for American pickups that brought us the fabulous Dodge B- and C- Series of trucks. Entering the 1960s, Foster tells chronicles the expansion of the D-Series and W-series (FWD). A whole chapter is devoted to cab-over models. The final chapter covers the turbulent years 2000-2020 when Dodge went from being part of a bankrupt company to its present position today as the number-two selling full-size pickup in the world
