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.

A

Step

Ahead

In

1966,

Toronado made front-wheel-

drive news, including Motor Trend’s

“Car

of

the Year.”

Still

breaking new

ground,

the 1974

“Toro”

became the

first

car equipped with a production

“air

bag.”

Recent Oldsmobile engineering has

created exciting advancements like

the responsive Quad 4 engine. Versions

of

the $-cylinder, 16-valve Quad

4

propelled

Oldsmobiles on roads and racetracks to

new standards

of

economy and

performance.

Today, the all-wheel-drive security

of

SmartTrak

in

the Oldsmobile Bravada

continues that proud tradition

of

meaningful technology.

The Security

of

Owner Satisfaction

The quality we built into your new

Oldsmobile gives

us

the confidence to

back it with the Oldsmobile Edge-the

most comprehensive owner

satisfaction program in the

industry. The Edge gives you
