history

In 1908, General Motors (GM) took over the company originally founded by Ransom Eli Olds as RE Olds Motor Car Company and continued to use the Oldsmobile brand until 2004 . The Olds Motor Works were before Ford , the first commercially successful car manufacturers in the United States , the mass-produced. In the 107-year history of the brand, GM produced 35 million Oldsmobile; 14 million of them at the Lansing plant . In the 1960s and 1970s, Oldsmobile was one of the most successful brands in the USA and also stood for special technical features and innovations.

General Motors produced 304,634 cars under the Oldsmobile logo in 2000, but two years later the number was down to 162,000. This decline continued, with the result that General Motors Corporation completely ceased production of vehicles from the traditional brand Oldsmobile on April 29, 2004. The last model to roll off the assembly line at GM's Lansing plant near Oldsmobile was an Alero that was brought to the RE Olds Transportation Museum. The discontinuation of the brand cost GM around 1 billion dollars because it had to buy back the inventory of vehicles and parts from the 2800 or so Oldsmobile dealers.
