Longest running car company in America, still going!
Longest was Oldsmobile Aug - 21 - 1897, they are done now, Toyota bought the rights for for the Oldsmobile name though and could resurrect Oldsmobile back to life. Next in line the Cadillac Aug - 22 - 1902, first car out Oct - 17 - 1902, driven by Alanson P. Brush. Next in line Buick, incorporated May - 19 - 1903. Next in line Ford, Jun - 16 - 1903. That means Cadillac is the longest running Automobile Company in America!
