Oldsmobile Took Part in the All-GM Show

 

Ransom E. Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in 1897. In the early days of American automobile manufacturing Oldsmobile had a number of milestones in the industry. Starting in 1902 the Oldsmobile Model R or "Curved Dash" became the first car to be massed produced on a progressive assembly line. Old Henry Ford didn't invent that; he just perfected it. This mass production led to Oldsmobiles being the top selling car in the United States during the first years of the 20th Century. Olds left his company in 1904 due to internal disputes. Oldsmobile then became part of General Motors and had a great deal of success as a mid-level car aimed at families. In the early 21st Century Oldsmobile fell as a result of financial problems GM was having. But there are still plenty of classic Olds vehicles out there and a lot of them showed up to the 3rd All-GM Car Show sponsored by the Wyler Automotive Group. Among them was a 1970 442, a very early truck, a 1965 442, an 88, a couple of post war Series 88s, and a rather unique Model 88 convertible.
