- 'oldsmobile sales plunged 21.9% in October, while sales for the entire industry
- improved 7.6% over a weak year-ago month', reports automotive news.
- rumors about olds demise killed sales. people were cancelling orders and
- asking where they could get their cars worked on after olds went under.
- gm's new chairman jack smale denied that the board had any thoughts of killing
- the division(of course the board also stated they were in full support of
- stemple, then they canned him a week later). they also canned the olds 98...
- this is the last year for it and the redesign of the cutlas cierra has been
- cancelled. sounds to me like some big changes are going on. i would
- speculate that olds won't be around much longer in it's current form...maybe
- a name change and some different models can keep it alive...they are
- supposedly going to have a 1994 model called the auroa which will be unique
- to olds. looks like olds buyers better look to buick now!
