Oldsmobile re-introduced the Model 43 for the 1921 model year after a brief absence as the Model 43A. Initially the Model 43 was intended as an entry-level vehicle designed to compete with Chevrolet and Ford’s Model T, but with General Motors taking control of Chevrolet in 1917 the company decided to take Oldsmobile to a more upscale level.

The Model 43A featured a longer wheelbase than the early Model 43’s, sharing a frame with Buick. A four-seat touring car, the vehicle was still powered by a four-cylinder engine. Sales were brisk for the 1921 and 1922 model years, as over 28,000 Model 43A’s were produced making it a success for Oldsmobile and General Motors.

This 1921 Oldsmobile Model 43A was purchased by the present owner in May 2013. An ardent supporter of the local school district and their athletic programs, the car was decorated using easily removed vinyl decals and for several years was a mainstay at the school’s home football games and towed a propane-fueled cannon that was fired to celebrate touchdowns and field goals.

The four-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission are operable and the car runs and drives, with mechanical brakes stopping the vehicle. The yellow paint was applied under the present ownership to commemorate the school colors of yellow and black. The interior is intact but could use some attention to present as nicely as the exterior. (NOTE: An interesting aside for trivia buffs, a 1921 Oldsmobile Model 43 was the vehicle used to create the famous Beverly Hillbillies truck from the 1960’s CBS television series. That vehicle now resides in the Ralph Foster Museum on the campus of College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, MO.)
