Olds At the All GM Show

 

In 1897 Ransom E. Olds started an automobile company that within four years would become the first high volume gasoline powered manufacturer in the United States. In 1903 it was the largest selling car brand in America. A year later, due to internal disputes, Olds left the company he started. He went on to start the REO Motor Car Company which had a famous vehicle called the Speedwagon (cue the band, please). Oldsmobile went on to become part of General Motors and was slotted in as a mid range brand in GM's hierarchy, fitting just below Buick and above Pontiac. At the 3th 20th Century All GM Car Show there were a lot of Oldsmobiles on hand. Among them was a Cutlass, a Cutlass Supreme, a 442, another 442, another Cutlass, and a couple more 442 models.
