Volvo
Oldsmobile

Correct Answer: Oldsmobile
So why is this answer correct? : Ransom Eli Olds grew up in a family of mechanics and built his own gasoline-powered vehicle in his early 30s. He founded Olds Motor Works with one flagship model, the Oldsmobile. In 1902, the company began large-scale production of the car in Lansing, Michigan. Olds left the company in 1904 due to strategic disagreements with the board, and in 1908 it was acquired by General Motors.
