>>28156578They didn't have over rev protection or even rev limiters in 1969. You could go from 4th straight to reverse on the highway if you really felt like ripping your gearbox and axle to shreds for whatever reason. Those safety feaures didn't come around until the 70s or 80s.

Would you buy?
>>28157809No, it's a scam. Don't trust Finns, they don't actually exist.
>>28155117
>>28157840>they don't actually exist.This because Finland is another fake country like most of East Europe.
>>28157809Every day
>>28157754It even changed when it was offered with an automatic.Then they said it meant "400 cubic inch, 4 barrel, dual exhaust".
>>28157754>>28159042They changed the meaning of it pretty often. On the last generation of 442s, it referred to the 4 cylinder, 4 valve, 2 cam engine.Just like the 88 and 98 model names, the name strayed away from its original meaning.

The weirdest thing is seeing white families in ads.
>>28155753They do. They all look gay, unlike those GMs
>>28164578We'll get back to that again one day
>>28164915We're already slowly headed that way. More and more women are thinking that staying home all day and being a traditional housewife sounds much more appealing than their feminist approved GED-level service sector job dealing with stinky loud Karens all day.
>>28167186I hope so
>>28167186>More and more women are thinking that staying home all day and being a traditional housewifeWHERE???lay off the /pol/ man
>>28168911I don't go to pol muchidk maybe I'm just getting older and my girl is too but I've seen plenty of stuff where women miss being domesticated. It's not a majority but it seems prevalent now more than ever post-covid. I think it's good that women have the option to choose either way, but it seems like a number of them are taking a second look and deciding the old ways don't seem so terrible.
>>28169531I'm seeing it too. Methinks it's been a reaction to MGTOW, and 'where have all the good men gone?' New angles are being tried to catch the simps they require.
>>28169927That's true, it could all just be a bunch of lies to play the submission angle. Oh well. I'll choose to believe they're evolving. I want to believe things will truly improve.
>>28162500Hey dont diss Saab too much i lost my virginity in one to the girl next door at 13.
>>28155121what I fail to understand is the economics herePontiac Star Chief cost about 3 000 dollars when new in 1957. About 33 500 dollars nowadays. The median family income was about 5 000 dollars in 1957, so a new Pontiac was about 60% of it.If the Pontiac lasts 100k miles and in 50s the average miles driven was 10k, that means that the car lifespan is just ten years - and the price is spread out across ten years. An median family would spend 6% of their income in just the sticker price of the car a year, plus gas (about 250 dollars a year in 1957), repairs, insurance etc. All in all at least 10, probably closer to 12% of household income to support a single car. An equivalent to a Toyota Corolla costing 10 000 dollars a year.And people were not only okay, but actively going for two cars? How?
>>28157809> Hasn't changed tires in six years> Driving distance from Vladivostok to Yaroslavl is 8917 kilometers wtf

>>28177930smoking is cringe. get over it
>>28172104the fact racing results used to be used in actual advertisements, not just the repeated "win on sunday sell on monday" word of mouth mantra, is wild
>>28173910Isn't the multi-fuel turbine engine in the current Abrams derived from Chrysler research, too?
>>28169531They do that when they get old. They sleep around, puff up their egos and blow out their curtains, then they turn 25 then they're true-blue tradwives who only just wants baaaaybeez. Tale as old as time.capricious things they are

>>28178407I've been with my girl for basically 12 years. She hasn't slept around, but she definitely went through an SJW phase and we actually separated for a while. I blame college for pushing that shit into her because she was just as unhinged before college as she is now, just in a somewhat different way.
>>28177903o7
insane how advanced these are for being developed in the mid fifties
>>28178607fucking hell, my 21st century shitbox doesn't even have 6 way power seats>>28178609>GM had auto leveling air suspension in the 50s and not just for the rears but the fronts as wellwhat the FUCK
>>28178618All the more depressing that GM stifled their creativity for years after this and Olds fizzled out in the early 00's, remembered by most as little more than another GM Chevy Pontiac Buick badgejob.Cadillac may have had the prestige and the opulence but I reckon an argument could be made that Oldsmobile at it's peak was also the peak of GM as a whole.
>>28178708glass roof wagons are sex but god it must have sucked riding in the back, like a stifling greenhouse
For me, it's the first gen Toronado and both how good the ad is and how sex the car is. Genuinely great advertising taglines. Step out front in '66, since it's FWD, advertising how well it handles (not included in this ad: when they took it to Pikes Peak and won), and probably my favorite:>Look to Olds for the New!Probably the single best indicator, even more than Olds-Mobility, that no one ever had a problem with the marque's name having 'Old' in it until the bean counters tried saying that's the reason they failed after the awful "Not your father's Oldsmobile" campaign.
>>28179262I wish any of the ads I could find showed the interior/dash view, though. Best fucking speedometer ever.
>>28179262>>28179264Based Toro appreciator
>>28179281I think regularly about those hard-edged fender flares and how they were absolutely unique at the time and now some 60 years later, that's just the 'default' shape for a wheel well on damn near every vehicle on the road, albeit with less pronounced inwards taper and without the lower-half body crease that it flows into on the Olds to add that cool layered effect. Those motherfuckers in Lansing were so far ahead of the game it's not even funny. Probably no surprise Ford gently borrowed it for the first gen Cougar.>Googled the slab sided part on a whim>even Jaslopnik doesn't mention the Toronado in their article about this 'new design feature that may have slipped by your nose'>someone in the comments points out the '66 Toro and someone replies with "The Toronado was the first car to make many design elements ugly."I will find this man and I will destroy him.
>>28179264I fucking love weird types of automotive gauges so much man
>>28179296Interesting you brought up the Cougar, because I used to always mistake them for Oldsmobiles at first glance. At first I figured it was just because of the split grille design, but, now I wonder if part of it was because of the wheel arch design you mentioned.>I will find this man and I will destroy him.I agree. Slit him open and burn his nipples.
>>28179659i can kinda see it, mostly the grille and the back quarters with the raised edge remind me of the 70s cutlass supreme and grand prix
>>28179659Similar year Cutlasses had a similar arch flare, but it didn't have the fully flat outer edge like the Toro does. However...
>>28179689...the next major Cutlass redesign in '68 with the other GM midsizers wound up recreating that hard edge side, but only in stencil paint form, and only on the W-30 package. Even though the car underneath doesn't have the Toronado slab-side fenders, and the Toronado itself lost those flares in 1970.
>>28179686Funnily, Olds didn't start putting split grilles on Cutlasses until 68, so if anything they could've actually borrowed that from Mercury
>>28179698>the Toronado itself lost those flares in 1970Another reason the 70 Toronado just looks wrong to me. I mean it's not horrible, but....feels like they took too much inspiration from the Charger.
It peaked in 68 and 69. Sexy sleek fender flares along with classy grill mounted hidden headlights
>>28180311i love how different ads for the same company and same family of car can bedr. olds is my nigga
>>28180316I agree, the 68 and 69 were already pushing it with the new thin-at-the-sizes grille and front end instead of the original sloped front. '70 tried to combine them by bringing back the original jutting fender corners but it just looks so silly with those little headlights tucked into the center grille all sad-like, and the rest of the body itself just isn't as pretty.
>>28180320>And that masterful ride and handling, thanks to the superior traction of FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE>the "i could beat that in my civic" pasta already existed half a century agofug
>>28180358Dr. Olds needs to come back and breathe some life into GM's performance portfolio. Pontiac is gone, Oldsmobile is gone, the Camaro is gone, what's left? Just the Corvette? And the Cadillac V cars i guess.

>>28180320When did they stop presenting a FWD this way?
>>28155117bump to let everyone know that >>28188967 is the real /classic car general/
>>28189843No.
>>28189917Suspension or motor mount?

>>28195093All of those :(And daaammmnn the rims on the trans sport....
>>28195583So 90s....
>>28156089Those had a lot of potential, especially with engine swaps. They were still pretty cool, depending on the trim.
