Oldsmobile was one of the first automakers to pioneer the assembly line process, even before Henry Ford made it famous! In 1901, Oldsmobile produced the Curved Dash Runabout, which is considered the first mass-produced car in the world.

This lightweight, affordable car was a hit, selling over 19,000 units between 1901 and 1907. It played a crucial role in making automobiles accessible to the average person and helped pave the way for the modern auto industry. The Curved Dash was so iconic that it earned the nickname “The Car That Started It All.”
