The Heritage of Oldsmobile Engineering with a purpose. It’sat the heartof 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 buddinga horseless carriage “inas 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 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, includingMotor Trend’s “Car of the Year.” Still breaking new ground, the 1974 “Toro”became the first car equippedwith a production“air bag.” Recent Oldsmobile engineering has created exciting advancementslike the responsive Quad 4 engine.Versions of the $-cylinder, 16-valveQuad 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 traditionof meaningful technology.
