General Patton's 1915 expedition to Ft Bliss to handle the Pancho Villa invasion was in THIS Dodge, which now is in Arkansas. (Thank you George!)





you might recall that in my post from 2015, I had written "The most successful action (of that military action in response to Pancho Villa invading the USA )  was the killing of top Villa lieutenant Julio Cárdenas and another Villista by then Lt. George S. Patton." and he strapped the dead bandito to the hood of the Dodge, and the current owner of Patton's Dodge recreated that historic dead trophy on the hood (like a lot of deer hunters have done for 100 years)

the Dodge remained in use by the military until 1931








thank you George!
