(international) Glamorous Olds Showing Slated For January 13th General Motors’ newest, most glamorous automobile comes to Cottage Grove Friday, January 13 with the introduction of the 1950 model Oldsmobiles in the show rooms of thy Cottage Grove Motor Company. Star of the Olds line is the com pletely new "98” series featuring the most advanced body styling in the automotive industry. Olds mobile engineering has produced a car that is wider, lower, longer in wheelbase, yet actually shorter • overall length. The "i>erforniance star" of tlie Oldsmobile line, the "38" will also be on display in the local dealership. Commenting on the new car, Tommy Clapp, local dealer said, "Oldsmobile retailers felt gener ally that the 1949 Old* was the 'style-leader' in the business, but when the Completely new 1950 was unveiled at the pre-showing in Portland the dealers actually stood on their feet and cheered; The new product looks massive,' sleek, low. The fenders, trim and detailing are like nothing in the industry." The justly-famous Hydra-Matic transmission has again been .im proved for 1950 and the improved version has been designated the "Whirlaway” model. It remains the positive, gear-type, four-speed transmission but with the advent of the 135 horsepower "Rocket" engine, the driving range <DRJ has been limited to the three high est gear ratios. The compound-low ratio is reserved for extremely ad- verse conditions and braking j»ower. The sensational "Rocket” cn- gine developed by the GM scien- tist, Charles Kettering, is in 1950 available in two of three Okismo- bilc models. This high-compres sion, valve-in-head V-typc engine is used in only two General Mo tors automobiles . . . the Oldsmo bile and Cadillac lines. The Olds mobile version develops 135 h.p. yet delivers 20.6 miles per gallon at 50 miles per hour. The out standing "Rocket” engine is used in both the ”98” and "88" models. A vastly improved 105 h.p., 6-cyl- inder power plant is used in the value-packed ”76” model. As a souvenir of its 1950 Olds mobile showing the Cottage Grove Motor Company is giving a giant "comic-game-puzzle book to all children or their parents who vis- it the dealership.
