Oldsmobile Was On Hand For the Pumpkin Run Nationals

 Ransom E. Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in 1897 but a dispute with a sales manager in 1904 saw him leave the company bearing his name. That company went on to become Oldsmobile and, until parent company General Motors shuttered the doors in 2004, it was the oldest surviving automotive company in the United States. Slotted in the middle of the GM brand hierarchy between Buick and Pontiac, Olds offered up everything from luxury, such as the Ninety-Eight seen here, to entry level cars. It's biggest sales success was in the 1980s but that waned drastically by the following decade and was a major factor in why GM decided to shut down the marque. There were plenty of Olds automobiles on hand for the 46th Annual Pumpkin Run Nationals sponsored by the Fastiques. Here are just some that were on hand, including a 1941 coupe, a 1955 Holiday, and a couple of very muscular 442 convertibles.
