Oldsmobile cars were first created by the then Olds Motor Vehicle Company founded
by a man named Ransom E. Olds in year 1897. Several years after the Olds establishment,
the Curved Dash Olds was introduced selling over 420 car units which became the
first high-volume car during that time.
The Oldsmobile, being a young car company has amazingly become the top selling
car maker in the United States within a short period because of the Curved Dash
Olds. But sometime after the Olds’ success, unexpected financial difficulties
were encountered that moved Ransom Olds to leave the company to form the REO Motor
Car Company and lead to the General Motors’ buy out of the Olds Motor Vehicle
Company.
Under the General Motors, Oldsmobile cars were sold bearing a technical sophistication
in them and became the first American cars with an automatic transmission and
the first also to use chrome and other first features such as the automatic headlight
dimmers. Following one shortly after the other, Oldsmobile is slowly catching
its phase into the road of success.
The year 1982 is somewhat memorable for the Oldsmobile as an automobile manufacturer
for it marked the birth of its new model called the Oldsmobile Firenza. The Oldsmobile
Firenza came to live for six years until 1988. Principally, it is an automobile
offered in two body styles either as a two-door hatchback or as a two-door coupe
and driven as front-wheel cars.
Firenza was also based on the General Motor’s popular J-body platform which you
can find in almost all GM automobiles especially during the early 1980s. The said
J-body platform was designed to replace the H-body platform. The engines available
for Firenza were the 2 liters, 4 cylinder unit and the 2.8, 6 cylinder unit only.
Nearing the final years of Firenza production, four trims were available to which
are the S 2-door hatchback, the LC 2-door coupe, the GT 2-door hatchback and the
GT 2-door coupe.
