THIS is your fathers Oldsmobile


 1979, last of the V8/auto transmission rear drive cars... then we got the Ciera..

  1. My mother's, actually. Medium blue vinyl over light blue metallic, ice blue crushed-velour seats, early-adopter radials so it squirmed fetchingly at low speeds. EPA-strangulated 350 engine. The deer in the area hated that car, and sent one kamikaze after another out in the Kentucky night to jump in front of it. (My mother drank a lot.)

  2. At least she was safely a long way back from that 5 mph bumper:-)
