Leader of the Style Parade... AND MASTER OF THE ROAD!
There's a keener edge to our satisfaction when we know that something we own is obviously "at home" in the smartest circles. That fact, alone, could account for the unusual preference that Oldsmobile enjoys - for here is, unquestionably, the Style Leader among motor cars.... Yet owners continually assert that Oldsmobile performance is an equal source of pride. The history of the road reveals, beyond all doubt, that Oldsmobile matches its Style Leadership with an equal supremacy in action. Many a man has admitted, in amazement, that his Oldsmobile out-performs any car he ever drove-regardless of cost... You'll discover why owners feel this way when you drive an Oldsmobile. You'll find that both the Six and the Straight Eight are masters of every driving situation. They give you flashing acceleration - abundant, silent speed - power beyond all requirements - and operation so smooth that you'll scarcely believe the car has an engine! And their comfort is unlike anything a moderately-priced car has ever offered before.... So - if you want the leader of the Style Parade - and the Master of the Road - there is just one thing to do - get an Oldsmobile!
TEST OLDSMOBILE YOURSELF!
Performance superiority can be claimed for any car. Proving it, however, is a different matter. That's why the builders of the Oldsmobile Six and Straight Eight urge you to test these cars for yourself.... Tell your Oldsmobile dealer that you have come to question the enthusiastic things owners say about their Oldsmobiles. Tell him you want to make your own tests. Then-prepare yourself for a surprise.... Top speeds - 75 to 80 for the "6", and 80 to 85 for the “8” - stop-watch miles an hour - are effortless, restful and exhilarating-delivered so smoothly and quietly that you will doubt the speedometer. You'll seldom find a hill you cannot take in high. You will dodge into openings in traffic where less nimble cars dare not try. Almost at will, you'll lead the crowd when the traffic light turns green. Gravel roads and boulevards will seem the same to you - for Oldsmobile's balance and low-hung weight give exceptional roadability. And, with Fisher Ventilation, you'll enjoy exactly the sort of weather that pleases you best.... We repeat - make your own test of Oldsmobile - and do it soon!Created By
