Oldsmobile Curved Dash

Oldsmobile›Curved Dash

The Oldsmobile Curved Dash is a single-cylinder, tiller-steered runabout produced by Oldsmobile from 1901 to 1907, making it one of the earliest mass-produced automobiles in American history. Its name derives from the distinctive curved dashboard at the front of the body, a defining visual feature of the design. The car is particularly significant for the production methods Ransom E. Olds employed at his Detroit and Lansing facilities, using stationary assembly with interchangeable parts to achieve volumes that were exceptional for the era, with output reaching into the thousands of units annually by 1902 and 1903. A lighter, updated variant sometimes referred to as the Model R appeared during the production run, refining the original design while retaining the fundamental curved-dash body style.
