I just read that the very last Oldsmobile is coming off the assembly line tomorrow. The brand is 106 years old. Unfortunately, Oldsmobiles only appeal to people who are about 106 years old, which is why it must be going the way of all flesh. In my whole life, I've never considered owning an Oldsmobile. How about you? Was an Oldsmobile ever on your radar screen as possible transportation?

My parents owned two different Oldsmobile station wagons -- one nine-passenger then down-sized to a six-passenger after some of us older ones left home. But then, I'm the oldest of six kids -- we needed a nine-passenger!
Gulp.
Uh, excuse me. Four Four Two. Hello.
We bought a brand new 1987 Olds Calais Supreme. It lasted us ten years and was a good car for us. Oldsmobile won't be terribly missed but I suspect GM will bring it back in 10 years or so.
Gee, I never would have guessed. I'm glad everyone has fond memories.
