Oldsmobile Model A
The Oldsmobile Model A was a passenger car manufactured by Oldsmobile for 1907 and it replaced the Model S while it was replaced by the Model M.[1]
The five-seater vehicle had a water-cooled inline four-cylinder four-stroke engine installed at the front, which drew an output of 35 to 40 bhp (26 to 29 kW) from a displacement of 302 cu in (4,948 cc).
The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a three-speed gearbox with a gearshift lever on the outside right. The brake pedal worked on the driveshaft, and the handbrake lever on the drum brakes on the rear wheels. Bodystyles offered were a 4-door touring car, a 4-door sedan or a 2-door sedan. The touring car was available in gray, red and green, while the sedans were available in dark green or black.[2]
