#14 of 19 "Same OLDS Story" by javidogg Feb 12, 2004 (5:40 pm)
Hey People here are some significant dates in Oldsmobile History:   1864: Ransom Eli Olds is born in Geneva, Ohio.   1900: The name Oldsmobile is adopted after R.E. Olds ran a "Name the Car" contest, won by his timekeeper.   1904: The first Oldsmobile to have a steering wheel instead of a filter rod.   1908: Oldsmobile becomes a part of General Motors Corp.   1924: Olds makes steel wheels an option.   1934: Oldsmobile makes hydraulic brakes and independent front-wheel suspension available for the first time in the industry.   1950: Ransom Eli Olds dies.   1955: Olds makes the industry's first four door hardtop.   1966: Oldsmobile leads the industry with the introduction of a front-wheel drive vehicle.   1974: The industry's first air bag appears in an Olds Toronado.   1987: A.J. Foyt sets closed-course world speed record of 257 mph in an Oldsmobile Aerotech.   2000: GM announces that the 2004 Olds will be the last.   Source:Histomobile This was an article I happen to run into.   Http://www.cardomain.com/id/javidogg   Peace.
