1903 Oldsmobile Model R Curved Dash Navigation
This is the first mass produced car. It sold for $650 new before options. The weight is 650 pounds. Early ads referred to the dollar per pound as a measure of affordability.
This car has the top and side curtains ($50 option) as well as the 'mother-in-law' seat (a $25 option) along with the original foot rest.
This car has tiller steering, a 1-cylinder engine that develops five horsepower, two forward speeds, and has a top speed of about 25 mph which was fast enough for the early roads. The car is started by turning a fixed crank; it was designed so the driver could crank from his seat.
