Dave well played my friend You have stumped us twice I think at least

I will take over but make no mistake Dave Yaros is king so far

What car did GM claim was the 1st to go 100,000 mile between tune-ups? Need year and model and yes it was an Olds

 

1992 Oldsmobile Achieva. Who-da thunk it?

I thought the Cavalier was the first car with the 100K tune up schedule, so the answer would have been the Firenza. But nope. Achieva.

 

You sir have the floor Mike

 

What were Ransom Olds' daughters names?

Extra credit for middle names, too.

 

Gladys And Bernice

 

Here I thought that would be a real stumper.

Go again Scot!

 

1919 was the first year Fisher Body became associated with GM, what year did Fisher Body become a major player in the building of a GM automobile?

 

1926?

Pat

 

My source for the wedding morning trivia question was the bio: R.E. Olds Auto Industry Pioneer by George S. May. Found on page 33 to be precise.

 

Correct Pat

 

I would have said 1910, when they started making bodies for Cadillac.

Of course Cadillac wasn't part of GM then.

 

I guess I should've worded it different. GM bought 60% of Fisher Body in 1919 and the remainder in 1926. But Pat nailed the answer I was after

. Thanks.

 

I guess it's my turn? Since were dealing with early Olds history. Fenders/mud guards were an option on curved dashes, how much was that option?

Pat

 

Are we at the uncle stage yet! Hint the info has been posted here before.


Pat

 

If I read sideways correctly, 25.00.

 

I see my hint worked! You have the floor Mike.
Here is one squared up.

Pat

 

That seems disproportional to the price of the car, as it comes out to not quite 4% of the price of the car. By comparison, if you bought a 30,000 car today, the 4% mudflaps would cost 1200. Maybe on a Ferrari.

Give me a little bit, I'll come up with a good question.

 

What GM concept car was the inspiration/basis for the 95 Aurora?

 

1990 Cadillac Aurora Concept?

 

Nope

 

The tube car!

Pat

 

Pat you're on fire! Go again!

 

I already thought of that also! But I ran it through the 1900 to 2010 adjusted for inflation calculator, $660 in round #'s. Also if you think in terms of the roads back then, you could ask a pretty penny and get it!

Pat

 

Let's run down to the other end of Olds history to make it in touch with recent memories.

3 part question, sorry had to put a little twist

Final "500's" is a misnomer for which model? and how many were made of that model? and the reason for this happening?

Pat

 

The Shilloute, 360 produced...ran out of production capacity due to fleet orders for vans on the same assembly line.

 

I thought I was being a little tough with the 3 part, but you got it!

Also as sidebar, no number medallion on these also.

Pat

 

What is the only model that we consider an Olds to be recognized by the CCCA as a full Classic?

 

Well with the word consider, I would go with the REO Royale 8cyl 1931-34

Pat

 

Correct. I only wish that I could afford one!

 

What year was the name Oldsmobile first coined?

Pat

 

Well, if you don't know, I'm not gonna tell ya!

 

I wanna say 1897, but that seems too easy lol

 

1900 by the timekeeper and winner of the contest Ransom Eli held

 

I see you got out the setting the pace book! Good job, you have the floor.

Pat

 

Something like that I think we've touched on the subject before but who wants to dig back through 11 or so pages LOL

Okay here goes...

Along with too many firsts to list, name the year, cubic displacement, HP and vehicle that Oldsmobile 1st used a V8 in their lineup.

 

135 h.p. 1949 303 Kettering "rocket " 88 ?????????????????

 

No sir Mr. Jim, the 303 was not the 1st V8.

 

1916 Model 44. 246 cu.in.

 

Correct Mike And it came with an "L" head that produced 40 HP Your go brother
