Original – Olds Motor Works, about 1910

Reason: Beautiful old photo (c. 1910). Unusually high detail and resolution for a rather ordinary image.

Support Beautiful old photo. If this photo was taken in 1910, the plant would have been recently acquired by GM. In which case, should it still be referred to as "Olds Motor Works" in the caption? Fallingmasonry (talk) 01:11, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you look closely in the right half of the image, you'll see a sign... "OLD(S?) MOTOR". There are also a few speed limit signs that say "O. M. Wks." The article suggests it was, and remained the "Olds Motor Works" until some (unspecified) time later when it was know as "Lansing Car Assembly - Chassis Plant". Olds Motor Works works for me. – JBarta (talk) 21:04, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, seems reasonable to me. Fallingmasonry (talk) 19:48, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
