It would be cool to see one produced without the Spoiler. I can't imagine but one or 2 slipping thru.
Next Question:
The Indy 500 has used a pace car since 1911. Since 1911, How many of it's Pace Cars were Oldsmobile's? And what was the last Oldsmobile to pace the Indy 500

Nice save Joe. That is correct. I do believe it is your turn.

That is true, but not what I was looking for.
Actually, no.
To clarify, the car I'm talking about was not the F-85, but a precursor prototype of a compact car that never made it to production. The time frame would have been around late 1958-early 1959 or so. It was unique and unlike any Oldsmobile ever built.

Heck I forgot again. Okay, the 1949 Pace Car had chrome rockets on the fenders, and they had smoke coming out of them as the car drove around the track, sort of like the exhaust of a rocket. They had to be disabled because the drivers couldn't see through the smoke.
Hm, okay what was RE Olds' Mom's name?

Here I go again with multi question trivia! Circa early 80's
Here in Lansing we had X number of plants, number each plant and what they were producing at that time.(generic terms) i.e. cars, parts etc.

OK Joe you have the floor and the craft centre would be correct!
Plant 2 besides foundry work also did rear drive axle assemblies.

OK Jedidiah we have a breech of etiquette here! I mean no insult here and welcome anyone to ask a question but this is how it goes, be the first one to answer the question properly and you have the right to ask the next question
Thanks Ryan, I believe that you had answered Jed's question properly.
TRIVIA QUESTION: Movie/Olds trivia, in the movie Smokey and the bandit at one point in the movie scene was outside the dinner we see sheriff Justice walking by an Olds, model, color and year.

Thank you Pat
To follow Pat's lead......
In the movie Casino about the 2 hr 24 min mark into the movie, after shooting up the cops house. The very next scene Joe Pesci and his cohort is walking out of the "Gold Rush" and the Feds are surveilling them from across the street in a motel room. They know they are being watched so they walk and talk with a hand over their mouth. Well this car is used here and there on the movie but this scene is one of the better shots of this desirable A-Body Oldsmobile. Name the year, model and color(s) for this beauty.

I've never seen Casino, and I tried to see it on youtube and it wanted to charge me! Who the hell ever heard of paying for youtube. That's what all those annoying commercials and ads are for.
