Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relive Oldsmobile’s most potent muscle car offerings when the simple letter W intimidated all takers. Oldsmobile’s foray into the developing muscle car wars of the 1960s came as little surprise to most in the automotive industry. What was surprising was that it wasn’t the first to develop it! Oldsmobile’s Rocket 88 has been viewed by some as the beginning of performance offerings from automobile manufacturers. The 4-4-2 was Oldsmobile’s volley back at the Pontiac GTO, and in 1966, Olds attempted to spike the ball home with its all-new W-30 high-performance drag racing package. During the course of the next pair of decades, Oldsmobile offered the W-code on a host of platforms (the Cutlass, F-85, 4-4-2, Toronado, and Delta 88) with an assortment of engine packages (400, 455, and 350). As muscle cars fell by the wayside during the struggling 1970s, Oldsmobile continued to carry its flagship W-30 all the way through the 1980 model year. This book by muscle car historian and esteemed photographer David Newhardt revisits and celebrates Oldsmobile’s legendary W-optioned performance machines. So, sit down, strap in, and let Dr. Oldsmobile do the driving.

Download or read book Oldsmobile 1946 1960 Photo Archive written by Byron Olsen and published by Enthusiast Books. This book was released on 2006-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oldsmobile had long been GM's experimental division, pioneering new engineering and design ideas before they spread to other GM marques. Major ideas pioneered by Olds included the first GM semi-automatic transmission in 1937 and Hydra-matic automatic transmission in 1940. Yet Olds still seemed stodgy in the late forties compared to glamorous sibling Buick, which led Olds in sales. All that changed in 1949 when Olds introduced the first modern high-compression overhead valve engines (with Cadillac), the Rocket V8. Sales boomed in the fifties, helped by dazzling new styling and the industry's first panoramic windshields. All of the great looking Oldsmobiles of this exciting time are presented here in sharp detail with high quality photos from the National Automotive History Collection. Here are the revolutionary first hardtops, and later the first four-door hardtops, Starfires, Fiestas, and concept cars. Here, too, are the less fortunate 1957 and 1958 models, when bad styling decisions caused sales to fall. Oldsmobile would recover and go on to again lead the industry in sales in later years, only to perish for good in the new millennium. Superb photos are tied together with authoritative and informative captions, telling the story of Olds in these nostalgic years.

Download or read book Cutlass and 4 4 2 written by R.M. Clarke and published by Brooklands Books Limited. This book was released on 1998-08-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1964 the buying public wanted bigger cars so the F85 and Cutlass models were increased in size. For performance enthusiasts the F85 came with the 4-4-2 options and in 1966 became a model line in itself, which ceased with the end of the muscle car era in the early 1970s. The Cutlass could be bought with the big 455 V8 until the power dropped in 1972. The 1974 car with 275bhp signaled the end of the big cars. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, specification and technical data, driver's impressions, long term tests, racing, development and history.
