1905 Oldsmobile Ad “Makes everyone your neighbor . . .” (10.0 x14.0)

Models Listed in the Ad

  1. Oldsmobile Standard Runabout — $650
    → This is essentially the Curved Dash Runabout (Model 6C), the bread-and-butter car.

  2. Oldsmobile Touring Runabout — $750
    → A slightly fancier version of the runabout, likely with extra trim or body refinements.

  3. Oldsmobile Light Tonneau Car — $950

  5. Oldsmobile Light Delivery Car — $1,000
    → A commercial vehicle variant of the Light Tonneau, designed for small businesses — same mechanicals, but with a cargo body instead of passenger seating.

  6. Oldsmobile Heavy Delivery Car — $2,000
