Great story. A successful failure of over engineering.

Thanks for sharing the link. I watched it recently, and I was thinking this definitely needs to be posted on classic oldsmobile.com, but I am keyboard challenged 😂

Over-engineered. Reminds me of the North Star project by Cadillac. They should have put an LS in their stuff instead of the junk they spent countless dollars, "developing". The North Star is a fragile excuse for a motor.

Then built the hot V Blackwing 4L V8, could have been a great little motor. Then Cadillac made it handbuilt and so expensive that they canceled it after 1 year.
