Ul O1dsmobile will announce the Finest Cars and the Greatest Values in Its Entire History - £xT WEEE, with the opening of the National Automobile Show in New York, Oldsmobile will maks the most important announcement in its 35 years of manufacturing history. For that reason, Oldsmobile takes this opportunity for making a brief and straight-to-the-point statement regarding its policies and producis for 1982 « « The former can be quickly defined. There will be no deviation from the sound, progressive policies which have won constanily and have resulted in Oldsmobile outiselling, during the past two years, all other cars in that popular price range between $850 and $1050. Oldsmobile’s four-fold pledge —to design progressively, to build faithfully, to sell honesily, and to service sincerely— will be maintained with the same unswerving singleness of purpose as in the past « « As for the 1932 Oldsmobile cars themselves, Olds Motor Works states emphatically that they will be the finest cars, and the greatest values in Oldsmobile history. In style, in comfort. and in perform- ance, they will provide advancements beyond anything Oldsmobile ever before has achieved. They will incorporate the latest, finest motor car features —some of which will be entirely new io the industry, and therefore exclusive to Oldsmobile. In price, as heretofore, they will be exiremely moderate. Summed up, this means that you can confidenily expect unusual value, outstanding value, from the Oldsmobile cars for 1932 « « Oldsmobile strongly urges you to inspect and drive these new cars before deciding on your 1932 quiomobile investment. And we do not ask you to restrict your com- We sincer;aly urge you to compare the new Oldsmobiles with cars which cost subsiantially more.
