125 years ago today, on 21-August-1897, automobile pioneer Ransom E Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company, which later became the Olds Motor Works. He introduced principles of mass production to the auto industry, creating the low-priced Curved Dash Olds in 1901.
In 1904, Olds was fired from the Olds Motor Works. General Motors Purchased the company in 1908. GM built Oldsmobiles until 2004. I was sad when they killed the marque.
Ransome E Olds founded the REO Motor Car Company in 1904. REO built autos until 1934. It continued to build trucks until 1975.
