This 1904 Oldsmobile Model R Curved Dash 'Pie Wagon' has been featured on the cover of the July/August 1965 issue of the Antique Automobile. The term 'Pie Wagon' is not the official Oldsmobile designation, however it is appropriate for this vehicle particularly because of its large, 500-pound, cargo enclosure suited for bakery deliveries. The official designation is a 'Light Delivery Wagon.'
This vehicle was discovered by Stone Mountain Museum founder Tommy Protsman in the early 1950s. It was missing its bodywork from the beltline up, but largely intact in its other details. The vehicle was to a professional restoration and upon completion, it earned an AACA National First Prize in 1963, and a Senior National First Prize in June of 1964.
This Light Delivery Wagon rides on black 12-spoke wheels with 'No Skid' tires. There are a set of Badger Brass Solar Model 56 kerosene headlights, taillight, brass handrails and a brass railing on the footboard with 'Oldsmobile' integrated within it. The interior features period correct button-tufted upholstery and two storage compartments beneath the seat.
The 95.4 cubic-inch, single-cylinder engine produces 7 horsepower and there is a two-speed planetary transmission. The 66 inch wheelbase is suspended in place by a solid front axle and live rear axle. Braking is by mechanical brakes on the differential and the transmission.
In 2009, this Model R was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island Auction presented by RM Auctions. The vehicle was estimated to sell for $100,000 - $125,000. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for $72,600 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2009
