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.
