Come, let me take you back to 1948.
A time of no mobile phones, internet or any of the other modern "luxuries". In the rural areas some visitors could even arrive at your house on horseback.
These old cars were seen as the ultimate and there were no dreams of the flimsy lightweight cars that we drive today.
Yes, this is a 1948 Oldsmobile in pristine original condition.
Marian saw an old gent getting out of the car, but by the time that we found a parking space for our car and I rushed over, he was gone.
I would have liked to ask him about the history of this old car.
So as we arrived back at home I started some research and found this:
The Series 60 "Special" is a full-size car made by Oldsmobile from the 1939 through the 1948 model years. It was their entry-level model using the GM "A" body platform, giving Oldsmobile an entry level product with more standard features that would be optional on Chevrolet and Pontiac vehicles using the same platform.
Initially, the engine size used was the company's flat head 6 cylinder, while senior models would use the flat head 8 cylinder. For marketing purposes, the Oldsmobile Series 60, or the Oldsmobile 66, took advantage of the national highway U.S. Route 66 established in 1926.
It was with this generation that all GM vehicles experienced increased width dimensions to accommodate three passengers on the front bench seat and an additional three passengers on rear bench seat installed vehicles.
