Take a long look... and you’ll long for more than a look!
Well, don’t be satisfied with wishing ... because we have
a spanking new “Rocket” Oldsmobile waiting for you
right now! So come in and take the wheel. Feel the touch
of your toe translated into instant action. See how easy
every driving moment can be. How hills seem to flatten
—how miles seem to fly by as the “Rocket” wings you
along. And feel the roughest roads iron out in this most
comfortable of all Oldsmobiles. Even if you’ve driven a
past “Rocket” Engine car, you’re missing something until
you come in and test this latest—and greatest—version.
Then you’ll want to make this your year to go ahead
with Oldsmobile!
