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.
