Entering full production in 1901, Ransom Eli Olds’ Oldsmobile Model R is generally considered to be the first motor vehicle to be successfully mass-produced on an assembly line using interchangeable parts.
The “Curved Dash Olds” was a sales success as well, enjoying a series of upgrades before production ceased in 1907.
The Model 6C was introduced for 1904, benefitting from substantial improvements including a larger body, rear brakes (plus the previous transmission brake), and a bigger horizontally mounted single-cylinder engine producing 7 horsepower.
The Curved Dash Oldsmobile’s tremendous cultural impact—it even spawned a popular 1905 motoring ditty, “In My Merry Oldsmobile”—made it a popular option among early collectors, and it played a foundational role in the formation of the classic car hobby as we know it today.
Case in point: The 1904 6C Runabout offered here.
Its history can be traced back to 1943, when it was acquired by Thomas Archibald of Norwalk, California.
