EVEN BETTER LOOKING, EVEN BETTER LASTING, EVEN BETTER BUILT THAN ANY OLDSMOBILE IN 44 YEARS !
WHETHER it's shell and cannon for the army and air corps, or motor cars for the folks at home, you can always count on Oldsmobile!
The nation's oldest motor car institution has been serving the needs of the American public, dependably, year after year, since 1897. And today, Oldsmobile offers, along with its large-scale output of arms and ammunition, a new car for the nation-the Olds "B-44."
This new automobile is built to keep America on the move - to step up the tempo of going places and getting things done. It is "stamina-styled" in a bold new military mode. It has new "Double-Duty" bumpers, new "Fuselage" fenders, new "Dread-naught" frame and an engine of greater "fire-power," combining alert action with long-time dependability and rigid economy. Down to the last detail, it is traditionally and truthfully Oldsmobile in quality - in materials, craftsmanship and modern design.
Your Oldsmobile dealer stands ready to show you how ably our engineers and craftsmen have met the challenge of the new times - with a new "Olds-quality" car. Priced below your expectations. Available in five new series - two Sixes and three Eights - all offering Oldsmobile's Hydra-Matic Drive.
