...Oldsmobile F85 and the Buick Special, all of which were upgraded from compact to intermediate in the fall of 1963, made sales gains of 72%, 41% and 26% respectively. Reinforcing this customer trading-up was a further proliferation of optional equipment, ranging from chrome-plated air cleaners to rear-seat speakers. "So many different combinations are available now," says Pontiac Division's General Manager "Pete" Estes, "that we could build 18,184,320 Pontiacs without building two cars alike...
...control-a problem that the smaller, less powerful European cars have not encountered. Cars with front wheel drive have also proven less efficient on steep grades, noisier at low speeds. Their power must be transmitted to the independently-sprung and swiveling front wheels rather than to fixed rear wheels, requiring a more complex axle that could cost Oldsmobile $150 more per car than the conventional drive. Says a rival Big Three executive: "Front wheel drive is just not worth the added cost in a conventional American...
Oldsmobile has apparently solved the mechanical problems, hopes that the advantages of front wheel drive will more than pay for its added cost Because front wheel power eliminates the need for a long drive shaft and a rear-axle differential, the Holiday will have a flat, low floor without a center tunnel or differential hump, more room tor passengers and luggage. Front-wheel traction and more weight at the front will make the car more stable on windy days and on icy roads.

What's more, the rear axle of the chariot is armed with bladed hub caps that telescopically extend to chew up the rubber of an overtaking vehicle. And if the driver...
