RIP, Oldsmobile . . .

[Deb in IA]

Today the LAST Oldsmobile, the oldest automotive brand name in the United States, rolled off the assembly line in Lansing, Michigan after a century of production . . . .

I have a 1999 Olds Cutlass....it's got 109,000 miles on it and 8 more payments to make!

It was a good car. We bought it with 24 K miles on it and we found out it used to be a rental car a few years back

We've had some issues with it, but it's nearly paid off and then we'll probably use it until it dies or give it to my nephew.

I had posed the question as to whether or not to drive it to WDW, but i'd hate to break down and I don't see it lasting until next summer.

I live right next to Lansing. The Oldsmobile name going away makes this a sad day. My first car was a white 1976 Cutlass. Boy, could that thing move.

I had a 1992 Old-mobile Cutlass that had like 150,000 miles on it before I got tired of hauling it into service and repairing it. I got a Prizm, but I miss the legroom.

4-4-2 Oh, yeah. I miss my 68 Olds. I wonder where all those 8 tracks went to? Driving my girlfriend home with Chicago playing. Good times, good times.

Miss my 83 Olds Cutlass...there are some great memories in that car.

Oldsmobiles...a proud istory....a shame to see the end of this era...

Sometimes I wonder why GM/Olds didn't join the "retro" band wagon like Ford did with Thunderbird...Pontiac with the GTO...Dodge and the hemi....etcetera... and bring back a 442...

In my younger days I had a '65 442...sweet ride!.....wish i still had it!
