1946 - 48 Oldsmobile: Vintage American Cars and the Sad Story of Edith Bunz

After the war America had a big demand for new cars. Oldsmobile offered prewar models in a new design. The fact that there were no really new functions had advantages. Cars were not powered, but highly reliable, and should something fail, easy to work on.

In our video series we will look at cars of the first generation after the war, the 1946 to 1948 models. (Starting with 1948, Olds made the switch to the Futuramic line - that will be another video.)

There were 66, 68 (A-body), 76, 78 (B-body) and C-body (98) lines of cars available. The second digit denoted the cylinders ('6'=straight 6, '8'=straight 8 engine).

Make sure to watch the final part of my video: The sad story about Edith Bunz (1890-1970). Through research I could surprisingly identify her through information on the backside of her photo. I want to thank Lucie Fritz for having put Edith on the findagrave website (www.findagrave.com).

R.I.P. Edith. Enjoy the ride.
