My friend Jon Manji went to the '13 OCA Springfield Nationals and brought me back a Souvenir Magazine. On page 5 the host hotel, Crown Plaza, has a full page color ad welcoming all of the attendees of the Oldsmobile Club of America 2013 National Meet. The car in the ad takes up 3/4 of the page and is not an Oldsmobile. Is this a joke or a mistake?

Sure looks like Studebaker lines, but I can't figure out which Studebaker.

It's not an even an American car!

 

Kieser??

 

What a bunch of morons whoever put that picture in that magazine. But ONLY the grille looks like a '49 Olds- the rest of it looks like a cheap car

 

Not a Kaiser but the fender wells look like and Henry J or Allstate from '52 to '54.
It's not American. I thought is was from England or France in the early '50. Where in the heck did the Crown Plaza come up with this one?

 

I found it in Cold War Russia! How did the Crown Plaza get this car so wrong? It's a 1956-58 GAZ Volga from the Soviet Union.

I couldn't figure it out, thanks for giving the answer.

 

Somebody at Crowne Plaza figured that putting an old car on the cover would be good enough. They apparently either didn't care or didn't bother to check to make sure it was actually an Oldsmobile. Pretty sad, actually.
