The factory was positioned in Hamtramck, Michigan, and was known as the Dodge Main factory from 1910 until its closing in January 1980. The Dodge brothers both died in 1920, along with the company was sold by their own families to Dillon, Read & Co. in 1925 before being sold to Chrysler in 1928.

The K platform as well as derivatives are credited with reviving Chrysler's business inside the 1980s; the sort of derivative had become the Dodge Caravan.The Dodge brand has withstood the multiple ownership changes at Chrysler from 1998 to 2009, including its short-lived merger with Daimler-Benz AG from 1998 to 2007, its subsequent sale to Cerberus Capital Management, its 2009 bailout with the United States government, and its particular subsequent Chapter 11 bankruptcy and acquisition by Fiat.In 2011, Dodge, Ram, and Dodge's Viper were separated.

Later that year, Chrysler Group was renamed FCA US LLC, corresponding with all the merger of Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group in the single corporate structure of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
