FIRST MASS PRODUCED AUTOMOBILE

Curved Dash Oldsmobile

The gasoline powered Curved Dash Oldsmobile is credited as being the first mass produced automobile, meaning that it was built on an assembly line using interchangable parts. It was introduced by the Oldsmobile company in 1901 and produced through 1907. It was a runabout model and had a top speed of 20 mph.  It could seat two passengers and sold for $650.
Over 19,000 vehicles were produced in the that seven year period.
