Oldsmobile Parts

The Olds Motor Vehicle Company was founded in the year 1897. It had this mission: to build one carriage in a perfect manner. Its so amazing that the manufacturer of stationary gasoline engines, Ransom Eli Olds who teamed up with Frank Clark, the son of a small carriage shop operator, have a achieved what so many believed to be impossible. These two men successfully produced the self contained, gasoline-powered carriage.

In 1901, the first assembly line was created in a small back corner of the Olds Detroit plant. During this time, the “horseless carriage” was becoming more and more popular as they came out in various magazine articles. The Olds built a second factory in Lansing after a fire in the Detroit factory. They used the streamlined process, which is the wheeled cart that moves from station to station in the assembly line, significantly increasing the production level.

The Oldsmobile is the first to introduce the Hydra-Matic drive, which features automatic transmission. The shifting was fully automatic and so the need for clutch and associated footwork was eliminated. The Oldsmobile then introduced the Toronado vehicle, the first modern-day front-wheel drive car. The people behind Oldsmobile determined the front-wheel-drive as the wave of the future. They also launched the 4-4-2s to be known as the Hurst/Olds, and then they also entered the minivan market with the Silhouette and the SUV market with the Bravada.
