Ein kurzer, aber detailierter Überblick über die Hersteller Automobilamerikas zwischen 1897 und 2018 Wenn Sie regelmäßiger Tow Truck Driver-Leser sind, wissen Sie bestimmt, dass man den amerikanischen Pkw-Markt des 20. Jahrhunderts auf genau 11 Automarken aus drei Konzernen beschränken kann. Sicher gab es noch etliche mehr, aber mal im Ernst – müssen Sie wirklich wissen, was es mit der Maxwell Motor Co. Auf sich hat? Oder mit Oakland? Wahrscheinlich nicht, denn ählich wie fast 2.000 weitere US-Autohersteller sind Maxwell, Oakland und alle anderen mehr als 130 Jahre nach der Erfi ndung des Automobils fast spurlos verschwunden. Brudermord: Oakland Putting the Ü back in Performance: Was bleibt sind GENERAL MOTORS mit Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmo- ist die einzige Auto- Asüna hat wirklich existiert, nur für bile, Pontiac und Chevrolet, die FORD MOTOR COMPANY mit marke, die je von ihrer den Fall, dass Sie sich veralbert Companion Marke ver- gefühlt haben Lincoln, Mercury und Ford, und die CHRYSLER CORPORATION drängt wurde mit Chrysler, Dodge und Plymouth – und nicht einmal alle diese 11 Marken existieren noch. Beim Sprung ins 21. Jahrhundert sind zwei der Konzerne umstrukturiert worden, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Mercury und Plymouth sind auf der Strecke geblieben. Dabei war Oldsmobile – gegründet 1897 – lange die ältes- te Automarke der USA, ein Umstand, der die Frage aufwirft, warum General Motors eine Marke mit einer solchen Tradition eingestellt hat.

In order to avoid arbitrary decisions made by the three officers, and to obtain additional viewpoints, it was decided to appoint a Board of Directors consisting of the officers plus four additional members. These mem­ bers were selected for their obvious interest in the Society, and also picked for their geographical location to be fairly representative of our widespread member­ ship. The following have accepted membership on the Board: John Conde, Ralph Dunwoodie, John Peckham and Herman Smith. Smith was selected as a spQkesman, as it were, for the non-U.S. members. We, the Board of Directors, expect to make progress by continuing to improve the standards set in the past and striving to make the S.A.H. the type of organ­ ization which you, the members, want it to be. Progress reports on the decisions of the Board of Directors will be made from time to t~me. ADDITIONS TO THE MEMBERSHIP LIST Michael W. R. Davis William C.
