Reed Brothers Dodge was one of the longest running automobile dealerships in Montgomery County history, operating from two locations in Rockville for more than 97 years. This exhibit features historical photographs taken by the dealership’s founder, Lewis Reed, and highlights how Reed Brothers Dodge came into being, and how the company overcame the inevitable changes and challenges throughout almost a century of being in business. From World War I, through the Great Depression and World War II, to economic recessions and numerous Chrysler financial setbacks during the 1970s and 80s, the business rose and fell with the tides of the auto industry and stood the test of time.
