- Jonathan D. Maxwell Driving a Curved-Dash Oldsmobile on Rough Terrain, circa 1901 - With its one-cylinder engine and horseless-carriage looks, the Oldsmobile Curved Dash didn't seem particularly rugged. Olds Motor Works proved the runabout's mettle through elaborate stunts. Here the car is driven up a steep hill, over uneven ground. Far more extravagant was Roy D. Chapin's 820-mile drive, from Detroit to New York, in an Oldsmobile in 1901.
