1897 – 2004 — USA

Oldsmobile

Oldsmobile, established by Ransom E. Olds in 1897, stands as one of the most storied marques in American automotive history. With its roots deeply embedded in Lansing, Michigan, Oldsmobile was the first company to use assembly lines in car manufacturing, revolutionizing the industry even before Henry Ford adopted the technique. The brand's original car, the Curved Dash, introduced in 1901, was among the earliest mass-produced vehicles, earning substantial popularity due to its affordability and reliability. Throughout its years of operation under General Motors, which acquired it in 1908, Oldsmobile was known for its innovation and upscale sedans. The brand introduced technological firsts such as the automatic transmission in the 1940 model, the first turbocharged engine in 1962, and advancements in emissions controls in the 1970s. Despite these innovations, Oldsmobile's journey came to an end in 2004 when General Motors discontinued the brand amidst restructuring efforts and changing market dynamics. The phase-out marked the close of an era for a brand that had become synonymous with American auto engineering prowess. Although Oldsmobile no longer produces cars, its legacy in automotive design and technology continues to influence the industry.
