Olds 350 converted. There were some differences in the block casting just not enough in the rest.
LOL
Subaru has been a big economic benefit here in Indiana.
The factory now has more than 6000 workers.
Or the V4-6-8 or the downsized front wheel drive Cadillacs of the 1980’s...
When Cadillac did customer clinics and dealer clinics, everyone hated the fwd cars.
But Gm went ahead anyway because their “experts” told them, and “everyone knew” that that oil prices would soar in the future and only small fwd cars would sell.
So they introduced those cars in 1985-86 when oil prices were under $10 per barrel.
Brilliant !
“Even though EV’s are the wave of the future,”
like in the early 1980s when “everyone knew” oil prices would skyrocket ?
These meatheads are several decades late on this observation...
There hasn't been a "Cadillac" built since 1970... Since that time, environmentalist communists cut off the Cadillac's testicles and it rapidly degenerated into a mislabeled Chevy, Olds, Buick, or Pontiac...
My wife & I owned a 59 Cadillac (used: 61->64), a 62 Cadillac (used: 64-68), a 68 Cadillac (new: 68->76), a 1970 Cadillac (new: 70->75), and a 75 Cadillac (new: 75-80)...
Never a fan of the brand - Lincolns, OTOH, were worth the buy. Last one I had was a 2010 MK Z, absolutely loved it.
EVs are the wave of the future in China.
And they are building hundreds of coal fired power plants to accommodate them, because they have a 35 year reserves of coal identified already.
That may leave a lot of oil left over.
Most people who are looking to buy a Cadillac are one of two demographics, older upper middle class whites (sedan) and lower class black males (SUV).
Both are trouble if they do not feel they got the quality they wanted and paid for.
And electric cars are problems waiting to happen.
Other than the occasional Escalade, Cadillac has been a dead brand for years.
Fascinating homepage. Thanks.
Subaru is now made in IN? Hmmm interesting.
There’s a lot of things to consider here. They probably make a lot of money on repairing traditional powertrains, EV powertrains are less problematic.
But they believe they can do it with windmills and solar panels.
Many of these are coal-fired cars.
“He finally bought one in his 70s. Turned out to be a glorified Chevy,”
Did he buy the Cavalier based model? The Cimmarron?
We owned two VW Jettas in the 80s and 90s. Never again. Same for Volvo and Toyota. Yes, Toyota.
Depends on the Toyota. Was it a Tacoma?
Driving cars will not be recognizable in five years. All new cars will be electric and autonomous. People driving old fashioned cars will feel very old fashioned, and will be paying higher insurance.
Try buying a new manual transmission now. Same thing, but on steroids. Get ready to feel really old.
You will be asking your five year old grand kids to operate your car.
