The
Heritage
of
Oldsmobile
Engineering with a purpose. It’s at
the heart
of
every Oldsmobile. Your new
Oldsmobile continues a 9 7-year tradition
of
engineering excellence.
That tradition was born in Lansing,
Michigan, on August
2
1,
1897, when
Ransom
E.
Olds began budding a
horseless carriage “in as nearly a perfect
manner
as
possible.” Soon, Oldsmobiles
rolled
off
the nation’s first assembly
line.
Innovation and refinement have
always
set Oldsmobiles apart. In 1939,
Oldsmobile introduced the celebrated
Hydra-Matic transmission, a four-speed
forerunner
of
today’s advanced systems.
In 1948, the high-spirited Rocket
V8
engine set standards for performance.

Owner Satisfaction
The quality we built into your new
Oldsmobile gives
us
the confidence to
back it with the Oldsmobile Edge-the
