Oldsmobile introduced the first fully automatic transmission to be installed on a mass-production car in 1901 .

The Curved Dash was the first model built on an assembly line, and the first badge-engineered car in history was the Model R.

The Hydra-Matic transmission was developed jointly by Cadillac and was available as an option on the Series 60 and Series 70 models in 1941 .

Oldsmobile 88 is considered by many to be the first model worthy of the muscle car’ title.

It shares the title of first turbocharged production car with one other GM model, the Chevrolet Corvair Monza , which went on sale in the same year .

The car was soon nicknamed the Rocket 88 after the Rocket V8 engine that powered it.

It also enjoyed a solid reputation in motorsport thanks to its presence in NASCAR , which contributed to its “fun and fast” image.
