With many Olds enthusiasts attending the MCACN show this weekend, I wonder who can tell me who Esses Fernhill was?

 

Seen that guy at work today.

Don W

 

He was one of the henchmen in the Dr. Oldsmobile ads.

 

You gotta admit, that's funny!

 

Was he the bald guy with the striped shirt?

 

 

Nope...he was part of the crew in the above picture, but what was his contribution to the W Machines? (You can guess what Shifty Sydney did.)

 

The caption said something about FE2 suspension.

 

his tireless testing and perfecting the fe2 suspension

 

Interesting ad for W machines, the side stripes seem to be for the standard 442, I wonder when this ad came out and if Olds let this one go out the door.

 

I believe the ad came out in the fall of 69. It would seem esse fernhill was the "suspension guru" and possibly the FE2 was part of Fernhill? Maybe some one knows a marketing employee from Olds back in 68 or 69 with some background stories.

 

The ad is not just for w machines,if you notice it says 442's and w machines.

 

That appears to be a w-25 system equipped normal 442.
