Engineering with a purpose. It’s at
the heart
of every Oldsmobile. Your new
Oldsmobile continues a 96-year tradition
of engineering excellence.
That tradition was born in Lansing,
Michigan, on August
2 1,189 7, when
Ransom
E. Olds began building a
horseless carriage “in as nearly a perfect
manner
as possible.” Soon, Oldsmobiles
rolled
off the nation’s first assembly line.
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 Derforrnance.

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 with
a production “air bag.”
Recent Oldsmobile engineering has
created exciting advancements like
the responsive Quad
4 engine. Versions of
the 4-cylinder, 16-valve Quad 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 tradition
of
meaningful technology.
