1908 Oldsmobile (Curved Dash)

[Back to Car Page]




This car was owned by a friend of a relation down in the south-west. Here, it was on a trailer ready to go to either the Brighton Run or to be sold - not sure which.
When discussing it, I found out all the controls - but (surprise, surprise!) I have forgotten all, except the starting handle (bottom left in pics. 5 and 7).
The only brake is to the flywheel. It must be applied gently: if applied hard, the flywheel stops, but the crankshaft may not, causing some rather expensive repair work.
