STATEMENT OF
OLDSMOBILE-VIKI
POLICYyU930
message of interest to everyone
who expects to buy a car this year.
HQ
AT THIS TIMI'., wlien the public is accustomed
XJL t look for Hiangci in motor car (!c(i;n, il is
only mi I u nil that Olds Motor Works should makeo
an announcement concerning liolh its policy and
its products for the coming year.
Olds Motor Works is pledged to a policy of progress
n policy that promises, in part . . . "Changes in de
sign solely' for the snkc of progress never for the
sake of change alone."
This policy, ns it applies to the two products of Olds
Motor Works, is briefly .
... to give still greater value in the Oldsuiobiln Six,
ho Fine Car of Low Price . .
... to provide, in the Viking, a modern 90-degree,
V-typc Eight of high quality, ut medium price.
Certain changes have been made in Oldsmobilo
design. These changes arc cbiefly in the body of the
car, although advancements have also been madu in
the chassis. In every case, the changes tend to add to
Oldsnwbile riiur, without affecting the funda
mental design of the car.
Naturally, no changes have been made in the great
Viking Kigbt. The Viking is a new cat a thoroughly
modern 90 V-cighl, incorporating advancements in
V-eight design that establish it ns one of the oul
standing engineering achievements of recent years.
Viking, as well as Oldsniobilc, represents true prog
ress in modern motoring. Viking, as well as Oldsnio
bilc, is the splendid result of an ideal an ideal
that is exemplified by the four great responsibilities
Olds Molor Works recognizes toward every Oldsnio
bile and Viking owner.
i
The first of these responsibilities is to design progres
sivelv, utilizing the full resources of the (.cncral
Motors Research Laboratories, the Proving (Jround, .
and Fisher Body, as well as its own broad fucilitiV-s.
The second is to build faithfully . . . maiiiltiining .
standards of quality and workmanship which tare
best expressed by the pledge every worker follows,
"Anything short of my best is not acceptable.'!
And not content merely with designing and buildins
well, Olds Motor Works goes further, ami pledget
itself to sell honestly representing its products, i:i
every detail and to every buyer, exactly us they ore . . .
and, finally, to service sincerely maintaining on
interest in every sale far beyond the lime of pur
chase, and joining with its dealers in carrying out
the most equitable service policy in existence today.
Whilo Olds Motor Works builds two cars, in two
major price classes, each represents the most pro
gressive engineering thought, ihc finest manufac
turing practice, mid Wie best value il is possible to
give. Kach is truly ". . . n ear 'or the American fnm
ily that, at a moderate investment, gratifies their
finer tastes as ttell as satisfies their every need."
Now is the time to sec these cars and to compare
them with the latest offerings of the automotive
industry. Make vourown examination.
