Olympian (automobile)

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 $19,978 in 2025), 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.^[1]
