Iconic Brands That No Longer Exist

OldsMobile

Oldsmobile was one of America’s oldest car brands when it finally closed at the age of 106. But when Ransom E. Olds founded the company in 1897, it was an every-man’s car for the middle class. GM acquired the company in 1909 and ensured this trend continued. The Oldsmobile Cutlass was the best selling car in America during the 1980s.

But the brands following waned, and GM decided that oldsmobile had become outmoded by 2000. In 2004, the last Oldsmobile rolled off the assembly line, an Alero.
