TheHeritage of Oldsmobile Engineering with a purpose. It’sat the heart of every Oldsmobile. Your new Oldsmobile continues a 97-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’sfirst assembly line. 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. In 1948, the high-spirited RocketV8 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 fist car equipped with a production“air bag.” Recent Oldsrnobile engineering has created exciting advancements like the responsive Quad 4 engine. Versionsof the 4-cylinder, 16-valve Quad4 propelled Oldsmobiles on roads and racetracksto new standards of economy and performance. Today, the aIl-wheel-drive security of SmartTrak in the Oldsmobile Bravada continues that proud traditionof meaningful technology.
