Equipment

Later 7hp engine, redated 1903 in saleroom notice. Gold coachlined chassis. Aged, chipped and dusty but all there and with great provenance, coming to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago directly from GM in the early 50s in a gift arranged by Ransom E. Olds. No Reserve.

Market commentary

How many Curved Dash Model R Oldsmobiles come with original letters about them signed by Olds himself This has to be a great find even if its price may be a record for a Curved Dash.
