I remember as a kid looking at neighborhood's Oldsmobile owners and their "Rocket" V8 engines.....all us kids looked at the neighborhood car engines as the owners and dad's washed them and cared for them. I always wanted an Oldsmobile. The neighbors girl's parents Cutlass drove like a dream!
Still wonderful, isn't it? And no dialogue. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces. There just aren't any faces like that anymore. Maybe one - Garbo. Oh, those idiot producers, those imbeciles! Haven't they got any eyes? Have they forgotten what a star looks like? I'll show them! I'll be up there again, so help me...!
Beautiful car that '52 Olds Rocket Super 8 it was so brand new and gorgeous and stock original unlike today they wreck the cars when they do a restoring job on them.
My brother has the 1 year '61 Oldsmobile super 88. With the "Rocket". I believe is a 396ci . 5:21 Regardless, that year was a beautifully executed model. Crazy that it was only one year. His is also a 4 door version. Even better looking. He has a '62 Oldsmobile too, I'm pretty sure it's a Dynamic 88. Also a great looking car, however the 61 is just a work of art.
Sad but true this Country has gone down the tubes and is getting worse daily!! Granted there were BAD people then too but not even close to the same % as now, not really due to the need of new laws but to enforcement of older ones, lets just say we had enough people for reproduction then we didn't need to open the flood gates!
Please, one moment about the cheap gas part; many times I hear people saying "gas was cheaper then" without taking inflation in account. With that being said, it _was_ cheaper on average: the equivalent from June 1952 would now be $1.86 per gallon.
The leading lady in this film looks an awfully lot like 1950's television actress Jean Ruth Maxey. I saw her recently in a couple episodes of Highway Patrol. One was called "Double Cross" and the other was "Deaf Mute". Check them out on RU-vid to see whether or not you think it is the same actress or not.
Great vintage GM Oldsmobile color promo movie. Thanks for sharing! Oldsmobile "Deluxe 88" 4 door at 32:38 doesn't get the white wall tires like the rest of them. Musta' been the bottom of the line "poor man's" Oldsmobile.
05:21 - "...Wonder what it was? asks the passenger of a 1951 Olds convertible while staring at the back end of a 1952 Olds convertible that just passed him
I know no one will see this but who knows what that second round thing in the center of the steering wheel?? Kinda looks like a clock but I doubt it is.
Even into the sixties, Oldsmobile kept wearing out that old pre-1910 song, "In my Merry Oldsmobile". They certainly overused it in this corn ball movie.
Yeah right, Johnny...You just can’t get that girl off your mind that passed you on the road 3 hours ago...even after you and your boyfriend took a long shower together. Even Mr. Rigney knows whats up...lol! 20:45 ‘Right...!’ 🤣🤣🤣
