FactDodge's first car ever, the 1914 30-35, had a driver's side door that could not actually be opened.
The Dodge 30-35 was the first car produced by Dodge, introduced on November 14, 1914 and manufactured in Detroit, Michigan. It had an L-head inline-four engine of 212-cubic-inch (3.5 L) displacement with a power output of 35 hp; the rear wheels were driven by a leather cone clutch and a three-speed gearbox with middle gear, and were braked mechanically. In the short model year of 1914 the only body offered was a tourer whose driver "door" could not be opened; from January 1915 a two-door two-seat roadster was also available, and from that point electric lighting was standard equipment. When the series was replaced in July 1916 by the Model 30, a total of 116,400 copies had been made.
