Building Contractor Albert A. Albrecht Seated in 1902 Curved-Dash Oldsmobile, circa 1920
Add to SetSummary
Detroit contractor Albert Albrecht poses in a 1902 Oldsmobile. Twenty years after its debut, the Curved Dash Olds was an antique -- its tiller steering, chain drive and 4.5-horsepower engine hopelessly out of date. But the affordable Curved Dash had pointed toward a day when automobile ownership would be commonplace -- a day that had arrived by 1920.
