A Timeline of American Automotive Brands, Current and Defunct #Infographic

Published by Web Desk Thursday, July 30, 2020

The automobile is a cornerstone of American pride, history, and culture. “Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet: They go together in the good ol’ USA.” This over 40-year-old jingle is still an icon of American culture, as Americans have always been known for their passion for cars. Chevrolet is an excellent example of a classic American car company; Chevrolet has been around for over 100 years, with the first Chevy vehicle produced in 1911.

While this long and thriving existence is admirable, there are several other American automobile brands that have been around for even longer. The oldest American car brand (and the oldest car brand in the world) is Oldsmobile, which began in 1897. By 1908, it was taken over by General Motors. Oldsmobile had an impressive run, lasting all the way to 2004.

This infographic explores the triumphs and failures of American automobiles, a quintessential part of American history.
