Four American automakers have gone out of business since the turn of the century: Eagle in 2000, Plymouth in 2001, Oldsmobile in 2004, and Pontiac in 2010. Which one had been in business the longest?

Olds is the oldest!

Oldsmobile lasted 107 years (1897-2004), Pontiac was a close second with 94 years (1926-2010), Plymouth lasted 73 years (1928-2001), but Eagle was only around for 10 years.
