Building Contractor Albert A. Albrecht Seated in 1902 Curved-Dash Oldsmobile, circa 1920
01
Artifact Overview
Detroit contractor Albert Albrecht posed in a 1902 Oldsmobile circa 1920. Twenty years after its debut, the Curved Dash Olds was an antique with its tiller steering, chain drive and 4.5-horsepower engine hopelessly out of date.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.
