Your new Oldsmobile continues a 96-year tradition of engineering excellence. That tradition was born in Lansing, Michigan, on August2 1,1897, when Ransom E. Olds began buildinga horseless carriage “in as nearly a perfect manner as possible.” Soon, Oldsmobiles rolled off the nation’s first assemblyline. Innovation and refinement have always set Oldsmobiles apart. In 1939, Oldsmobile introducedthe celebrated Hydra-Matic transmission, a four-speed forerunner of today’s advanced systems. I I In 1948, the high-spirited RocketV8 I engine set standards forDerforrnance. 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 witha production “air bag.” Recent Oldsmobile engineering has created exciting advancements like the responsive Quad4 engine. Versionsof the 4-cylinder, 16-valve Quad4 propelled Oldsmobiles on roads and racetracksto new standards of economy and performance. Today, the all-wheel-drive security of SmartTrak in the Oldsmobile Bravada continues that proud traditionof meaningful technology.
