‘History of Reed Brothers Dodge’ in Rockville Will Be Subject of Free Montgomery History Virtual Presentation on Tuesday, Sept. 24

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. A free virtual presentation at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, from Montgomery History will look at how the former company overcame inevitable changes and challenges throughout almost a century of being in business.

The presentation, which will be led by Jeanne Gartner, will feature historical photographs taken by the dealership’s founder, Lewis Reed, and will highlight how Reed Brothers Dodge came into being. The company dated to World War I, lasted through the Great Depression and World War II, and survived 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.
