classic car

There is a common misunderstanding that the Ford Model T was the first mass-produced American car. That, my friends, is completely wrong. In 1902, the Olsmobile company was on the verge of extinction. They had planned to go into production with a large horseless carriage. Lucky for them a fire destroyed the makings of that car. Needing something to save the company, they threw together this almost forgotten car from a smaller-than-the-original-car prototype. The car was an instant hit, and saved Oldsmobile. A total of 19000 were built in their run of production. Picture from www.howstuffworks.com
