Ransom developed an interest in self- propelled land vehicles, and he experimented with steam-powered vehicles in the late 1880s. In 1896 he built his first gasoline car and one year later he formed the Olds Motor Vehicle Company to manufacture them. At the same time, he took over his father's company and renamed it the Olds Gasoline Engine Works. Although Olds' engine company prospered, his motor vehicle operation did not, chiefly because of inadequate capitalization.

    Buick Car Wiki the Buick Skylark Is a Passenger Car Produced by Buick

    Buick car wiki The Buick Skylark is a passenger car produced by Buick. The model was made in six production runs, during 46 years, over which the car's design varied dramatically due to changing technology, tastes, and new standards implemented over the years. It was named for the species of bird called skylark. Created to mark Buick's 50th anniversary, [2] the Roadmaster Skylark joined the Oldsmobile 98 Fiesta and Cadillac Series 62 Eldorado as top-of-the-line, limited-production specialty convertibles introduced in by General Motors to promote its design leadership. Nevertheless, many languished in dealer showrooms and were eventually sold at discount. Production ran for two years. Based on the model 76R two-door Roadmaster convertible, the Skylark designated model 76X had identical dimensions except height , almost identical appearance, shared its drive train, and had all its standard equipment, plus its few remaining options, including power windows, power brakes, full carpeting, and a "Selectronic" AM radio. It debuted full-cutout wheel openings, a styling cue that spread to the main Buick line. Accenting its lowered, notched beltline was a new " Sweepspear " running almost the entire length of the vehicle, a styling cue that was to appear in various forms on many Buick models over the years. The Skylark was handmade in many respects. Only stampings for the hood, trunk lid, and a portion of the convertible tub were shared with the Roadmaster and Super convertibles. All Skylark tubs were finished with various amounts of lead filler. The inner doors were made by cutting the 2-door Roadmaster's in two then welding the pieces back together at an angle to produce the rakish door dip.

Olds and other investors as the R. E. Olds Company. It passed through several name changes and permutations until May 30, 1975, when Diamond REO Trucks, Inc., filed for bankruptcy. In its lifetime, the company built passenger cars and trucks, but it was best known for the latter. The company became dependent on government contracts in the 1940s and 1950s, but by 1954 continuing losses led to a takeover by a group of majority stockholders. From 1954 to 1957 the company went through a series of business crises ultimately leading to its purchase by White Motors and the formation of the Diamond REO Truck Division of White Motors in 1957.

    North Shore Vintage Car Club Your journal Your stories Your photos Your cars Progress: Your ideas Your committee The monthly journal of the North Shore Vintage Car Club July 2020 1 Editorial Progress July 2020 Thanks again to everyone for your support in supplying material for this issue. Hopefully you’ll find it interesting and informative. So we are now out of lockdown and life should be getting back to normal. I don’t know how its affected you, but we got into a nice, ‘comfortable’ routine over the period. We’ve found however that it’s been a little difficult to get back into that same routine afterwards. I think the main cause of the disruption has been the new timetables adopted by our local gyms. Classes are on different days, opening times have changed etc. Thankfully however Masons Road is back on the usual timetable and so we’ll build on that. Following an article in the last edition I received an email from senior club member Neville Gregory. Neville wanted to us to note that Roger Duke, Brian Cullen, Dick Andrews and John Tombs also made significant contributions to our early restoration projects. Neville remembers that team first started work on reviving the Fire-Engine. Once that project was well underway (on Wednesday evenings before club nights) the group then suggested making room for other restoration projects by perhaps selling off the unrestored bus. That suggestion, of course, was the catalyst that led to the full restoration programme on the bus and we haven’t looked back since! Neville specifically picked out the contribution to those early restoration projects made by Len Woodgate.

    REO Motor Company Records

    REO Motor Company Records http://archives.msu.edu/findaid/036.html SUMMARY INFORMATION Repository Michigan State University Archives and Historical Collections Creator Reo Motor Car Company. Title REO Motor Car Company records ID 00036 Date [inclusive] 1904-1976 Extent 170.0 Cubic feet 170 cu ft , 283 volumes HISTORICAL NOTE Both the beginning and end of the REO company occurred amid controversy. The firm was incorporated on August 16, 1904 by R.E. Olds and other investors as the R.E. Olds Company. It quickly passed through several name changes and permutations. On May 30, 1975 the firm, then known as Diamond REO Trucks, Inc., filed for bankruptcy. Ransom Eli Olds, founder of the Olds Motor Works (later the Oldsmobile Division of General Motors), was forced out of that firm in 1902. Two years later, Olds and other investors formed the R.E. Olds Co. to manufacture automobiles. Following a legal threat from the Olds Motor Works, the R.E. Olds Company's name was changed to the REO Car Company (which later became the REO Motor Car Company). On October 8, 1910 the investors also formed the REO Motor Truck Company to manufacture trucks, eventually known as "speedwagons." This firm was combined with the REO Motor Car Company on September 29, 1916. During 1919 the firm sold more trucks than cars for the first time, and continued to do so until 1936. In that year car production was halted due to losses from declining sales which were caused by the Great Depression. The firm was reorganized in 1938 as REO Motors, Inc.
