THE SKY’S THE
LIMIT AT THE
PROVING GROUND
V
The sky is the limit at the great Proving Ground
of General Motors, near Milford, Michigan.
Every phase of a car’s performance is tested to
the limit of its ability.
The new Oldsmobile went through 1,177,000
miles of testing at the Proving Ground before it
was ever offered to the public —tests far more
severe than any owner could ever give.
And thousands of Oldsmobile buyers throughout
America have added further proof in the form of
millions of miles of actual driving.
But don’t accept even this proof as final. Come
drive the Fine Car of Low Price yourself and make
your own comparisons.
