Brief Description:
Over four decades, Gary Hoonsbeen researched and documented the single-cylinder Oldsmobile. His efforts included procuring original Company documents, reference material from the early 1900’s, and extensive documentation of surviving vehicles. He amassed a significant collection of period documents, photos, and drawings of Oldsmobile’s one-cylinder Models.
This hard cover book is his effort to provide a detailed history of the one-cylinder Oldsmobiles produced from 1900 to 1907. He discusses each component of the early Olds vehicles to provide the reader a comprehensive understanding of how these cars evolved during their production.
His goal was to leave a useful record on these early automobiles—information on how to properly restore them and keep them running. Over 550 pages of information!
