Olympian (automobile)

The Olympian was an automobile built in Pontiac, Michigan, USA, by the Olympian Motors Company from 1917 to 1921.

[1] R. A. Palmer purchased the well equipped Cartercar factory from General Motors to produce a low priced car.

Model 37 was a 4-cylinder 23-hp touring car called the Tourist selling for $795 (equivalent to $18,907 in 2023) and a four-seat roadster called the Gypsy selling for $825.

The car was given a large selection of colors to distinguish them from competitors.

[2][1] In 1920, management issues caused the company to be sold to Otis Friend and the Friend automobile would go into production later in 1920.
