SUMMARY:1897 Olds Motor Vehicle Works opens in Lancing, MI
DESCRIPTION:In 1896, Ransom E. Olds wrote: “The time will come when 
 the horse will be relegated to comparative discard. Men will travel fr
 om town to town in a vehicle driven by power machinery at a speed of a
 t least thirty miles per hour. Soon every house will add an automobile
  room to shield their horseless carriage. Barns with their odors from 
 horses will disappear from the city.”\n\nAfter experimenting with bo
 th electric and gas powered cars, Ransom settled on gas. A fire in the
  factory destroyed all prototypes except one, named the Model R1, popu
 larly called the Curved Dash\nAccording to the Curved Dash Olds Club, 
 the decision to produce the R1 was made before the fire, but the story
  persists. The first year production was 425. An estimated 20,000 were
  built between 1901 and 1907. Models include Model R1 ( 1901 ),\nModel
  R ( 1901-1904 ), Model 6C ( 1904 maybe into 1905 ), Model T, N, and B
  ( 1905 possibly into 1907 )\n\nFor more information visit https://nor
