Whichever GM engineer came up with the exhaust system for this car deserves
a medal. The 'sound' was extraordinary. It really did emulate a jet without the turbine whine. Unforgettable. Thanks, Max john "Max" > wrote in message news:qCRej.53546$5l3.6208@edtnps82... > > > |

I don't know if I ever heard that but then it was a long, long time ago. My
uncle had a 59 Oldsmobile that I drove from time to time and it was a nice car, very quiet and very smooth, but with terrible brakes.

"...long, long time ago..."???!!!
Thanks, but Jeezuz, Max; I guess I should start out comments with: "once upon a time, right after the horse..." 8-) john "MagisterMax" > wrote in message newsB0fj.25630$wy2.17327@edtnps90... >I don't know if I ever heard that but then it was a long, long time ago. >My uncle had a 59 Oldsmobile that I drove from time to time and it was a >nice car, very quiet and very smooth, but with terrible brakes. > > Max > > "John Bradley" > wrote in message > ... >> Whichever GM engineer came up with the exhaust system for this car >> deserves a medal.

Well, don't forget that 1959 is almost a half a century ago and for us
geezers it's not easy to remember what things sounded like last week let alone last century. :-)) When I arrived in Canada in 1950, in a rural area of agricultural southern Alberta, conditions there really weren't that far from "right after the horse". There were no paved roads outside of the cities (only 2 within several hundred miles); there were still gas lamps on the walls of the town's movie theatre (it closed shortly after I got there); we had 36 volt dc electricity provided by a windmill with a huge bank of glass batteries sitting on shelves in our garage; and lots of people had no plumbing in the house. By 1960 conditions had changed considerably but I spent 3 years teaching in even further isolation where conditions were just as primitive as they had been thirty or even fifty years earlier.
