1904 French Front Oldsmobile, 7HP

[Holden R & C]

Hi all

Looking for information and contact with owner of French Front Olsmobile. Any help appericated.

Do you mean a Curved Dash Olds?

[Steve Moskowitz]

No, he does not mean a Curved Dash, Mark. Olds made a model called the Touring Runabout which was a 7 HP. It has the "French Front" and they also made a larger 10HP model, light tonneau that had the "French Front".

I helped GM purchase a touring runabout several years ago and they have finished a restoration in the past 12 months. Also, the Curved Dash Oldsmobile Club has owners and info. What specifically are you looking for?

Hi Steve

You may recall I had a CDO Light Delivery Van that now resides in PA.

I looking at purchasing a 1904 FF Runabout here in OZ and would like to talk to owners about the differance between 7 & 10HP motors and gearboxes etc. I'm aware of the chassis lenght differance and know the 7 & 10's were straonger built than the CDO but otherwise not much. Would like motor #'s also to confirm that it is an 1904 and there is a spare motor with it so confirm to year as well.

I still have some CDO info but no French Front stuff. Any help would be appericated.
