Oldsmobile Model 43

The Oldsmobile Model 43 was an entry-level four seat passenger car produced by GM's Oldsmobile Division in 1915 and 1916, then again in 1921 and 1922. It replaced the Model 42, also known as the Baby Olds, with its most significant improvement being a longer wheelbase shared with the Buick Series C. Until GM assumed control of Chevrolet in 1917, the Model 42 and the Model 43 were GM's entry-level cars. Also known as the Oldsmobile Four, the four-cylinder Model 43 competed with the Chevrolet Series H and stood junior to the premium Oldsmobile Light Eight.
