1904 Oldsmobile Curved Dash
Curved Dash Olds (1904)

Manufacturer: P. F. Olds and Son.
Ransom Eli Olds’ family business built steam engines for industrial use. He began experimenting with steam and gasoline powered automobiles as early as 1885.
In March, 1901, the Olds factory burned to the ground, and all the prototypes—except the Curved Dash—were destroyed. The model was put into production when the new plant opened later that year, and was manufactured through 1907.
First car manufactured on an assembly line
Over 4,000 produced
Cost: $650
In 1903, a Curved Dash traveled from Los Angeles to Portland, ME in only 80 days
Famous owners of this model vehicle included President Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain and the Queen of Italy
Used as the first US Post Office delivery trucks
