Defense Comes First with Oldsmobile / Oldsmobile Presents the Dynamic Seventy / Oldsmobile Presents Motoring's Magic Carpet

It's the Oldmobile factory whistle. Day and night, it calls Oldmobile workers to Oldmobile's number one job, production for national defense. Shell for the Army artillery and automatic cannon for America's fighting planes. But to serve the vital needs of today's America, Mobile goes still further. Mobile contributes the B44. Better looking, better lasting, better built than any car in Old's 44year history. The Oldsmobile B44 offered in five separate series. The 66 and 8, the 76 and 8, and the great 8-cylinder 90. All are Oldsmobile through and through. Styled to stand out and designed to stand up. [Applause] Dynamic is the word for it. The Oldsmobile B44 Series 70 offered either as a 100 horsepower 6 or a 110 horsepower 8. It's big. It's husky. It's modernly streamlined and it's quality through and through. Did you ever see a car with smoother lines? Even when standing still, it looks as if it were going places. And did you ever see a more comfortable interior? Plenty of room here for three to ride at ease. Is it price you're asking about? Far less than you might think. The Oldsmobile B44 dynamic cruiser sells in the field of popular price. And it's a car that will be popular with you for many years to come. [Applause] Did you ever realize how many motions it takes to drive a car with a conventional transmission? Watch closely. She's ready to start on her drive. With one hand, she steers, the other manipulates the gear shifter. One foot operates the clutch, the other feeds the gas, and there you are. After 19 distinct manual operations, she's finally underway. Not so with Oldmobile's hydroatic drive. There's no clutch pedal to push, and the usual gear shifter is replaced by this simple direction selector. Just set the selector at drive, then step on the accelerator, and you're off. All shifting is automatic. Oldsmobile's hydroatic is simplicity itself.
