From the minutes of the directors'
meeting which established the
Olds Motor Vehicle Company —
August 21, 1897. 1979 begins our 82nd year of offering cars to meet that criterion — more experience than any other American car name.
And through the years, Olds has participated in the development of these major innovations:
—The first fully automatic transmission, making driving easier than ever before.
—The first high-compression V8 production engine, making possible new levels of performance.
—Front-wheel drive for contemporary American automobiles.
— In the last two years, the introduction of a new generation of space-efficient full-size and mid-size models. Plus the introduction of the world’s first diesel V8 engine (5.7 litres) for passenger cars—available in full-size Oldsmobile models.
