: Thank you/Eduardo.


Yes the Dodge Brothers made parts for Ford until 1914.They stopped around then to make carsfor themselves.

After Ford intoduced the V8 there wasn't much interest in 4 cyl. engines until the 70's when gas became expensive in the U.S.Though a few U.S. low cost car makers like Willy's made 4 cyl. cars until the 1940's.

Hope this is of help.
