  • Bull Run Region Car of the Month 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible
    Bull Run Region Car of the Month 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible After I sold my 1931 Ford Model A and my 1973 Mustang Mach I, I felt empty. Even though I had Pam’s 1965 Chevy Corvair convertible, it was not the same as having a classic car of my own. Desiring a Rolls-Royce since I was seven years old, I decided this was the time. As fate would have it, I could not find a model Rolls-Royce that I liked and could afford. While scanning classic car websites, I discovered this 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass. A Cutlass over a Rolls-Royce?! Well the Cutlass offered all I was looking for; it was big, I have always loved Oldsmobiles, it was in outstanding conditions having been recently restored, and it was a convertible. Body Style 2-door convertible Engine 330 cu in V8 310 hp Transmission 2-speed automatic Wheelbase 115 in Length 204.3 in Curb Weight 3,440 lb. In 1967, major news for 1967 was the availability of optional disc brakes and the three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic to supplement the two-speed Jetaway. An unusual new model was the Turnpike Cruiseron Cutlass Supreme coupes and convertibles, which used a two-barrel carburetor and mild camshaft with the 400 cu in (6.6 L) engine and a (numerically) low axle ratio for efficient and relatively economical freeway cruising. The Turnpike Cruiser used the heavy- duty suspension of the 442, and was available only with Turbo Hydramatic. My Cutlass was located within 50 miles of my house at a classic car storage and restoration facility in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

  • Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing
    New Automotive Markets: Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing Prepared by: Michael S. Flynn and David J. Andrea of the Office for the Study of Automotive Transportation Transportation Research Institute The University of Michigan January 1990 Under a Sub-contract from the Industrial Technology Institute for a Contract from The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction This report seeks to identify potential market opportunities for Genesee County within the automotive economy, but external to General Motors. Through a combination of interview, survey, and archival data, it identifies product markets with three characteristics. First, demand from suppliers is likely to increase due to increased sourcing rather than manufacturing by the automotive assemblers. Second, capacity levels in the independent supplier sector are unlikely to be adequate to meet those demands. Third, the skills and product-experience of the GM labor force in Genesee constitute an available, trained workforce. The report also identifies companies, including domestic and transplant suppliers, that are likely beneficiaries of the increased outsourcing by the manufacturers; are likely to be capacity- constrained; and are likely to seek new locations. The ultimate goal of the study is to provide some direction to Genesee's efforts to find near-term replacement activity and jobs for expected losses at General Motors. The strategy reflects a recognition that Genesee's immediate attractions are its location with respect to the automotive facilities of the manufacturers, and a workforce both acclimated to the industrial culture of the automotive industry and experienced and skilled in its work requirements. In the final analysis, Genesee must diversify away from its heavy reliance on the automotive economy, but diversification within that economy is an important step, both to alleviate the impacts of the coming losses at GM and to achieve a diversified economy.

  • The Effectiveness of Sanctions Revisited: an Empirical Analysis Using a Bargaining and Enforcement Framework
    THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SANCTIONS REVISITED: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS USING A BARGAINING AND ENFORCEMENT FRAMEWORK Bo Ram Kwon A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science. Chapel Hill, NC 2013 Approved by: Navin A. Bapat Mark J. C. Crescenzi Layna Mosley Tom Carsey Lars Schoultz 2013 Bo Ram Kwon ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BO RAM KWON: The Effectiveness of Economic Sanctions Revisited: An Empirical Analysis Using a Bargaining and Enforcement Framework (Under the direction of Navin A. Bapat) While extant research on economic sanctions have identified various state-level variables that affect the effectiveness of economic sanctions, this study examines sanctions success by incorporating the role of the firm. I argue that imposing sanctions creates an enforcement dilemma for sanctioning states or senders. Namely, unlike the decision to impose sanctions, senders often have disincentives to enforce their sanctions policies on their firms, given that the restriction on economic transactions with targeted states may undermine their competitiveness. Following a strategic bargaining framework that consists of a sender, its firm and a target state, I propose that sanctions are more likely to succeed when the sender's firm retains a moderate share of the target's market relative to its foreign competitors. Also, I argue that due to strategic interaction, sanctions are more likely to be imposed when the conditions do not favor their success. The detailed case illustration and large-N quantitative analysis support these predictions and suggest that sanctions enforcement is indeed critical in determining sanctions success.
