this latest Offering, with a host OF
q refinements in performance and
body design that will make the car
an outstanding attaction on the
highways of America during the
Acoming months" he said.
"The new car represents the cum
! Euiative experience of more than 20
years of successful automobile
Building on the part of the Oakland
Motor Car Company, plus the vast
facilities of General Motors.
Into it's development have gone
the pooled resources, creative in
genuity and experimental facilities
of Oakland and General Motors en-
