Ask Dr.Who? In my opinion,General Motors Corporation messed up when they
stopped building Oldsmobile cars. www.devilfinder.com History of
Oldsmobile.
Perhaps sales were falling off,but GMC could have came out with some new
models and kept them going.Oldsmobile cars were some of the nicest cars
that GMC ever made.If GMC goes belly up,I am going to blame it on GMC.

1897,Oldsmobile.GMC got rid of their historical namesake
cars,Oldsmobile.(Oldsmobile used to make a line of pickup trucks too.I
used to see a 1928 (I think it was 1928) Oldsmobile pickup truck running
around Jackson back in the 1950's and 1960's.Nowdays,GMC is talking
about merging with Renault and or two other foreign car outfits,sort of
like Chrysler merged with Daimler and became Daimler/Chrysler.
What would happen if Ford Motor Company got rid of their Ford line of
cars and trucks?

You may be right. But if he spent less time at the second hand shops and
chasin' 'wimmins', he could afford a computer.

Prior to hitting 'send', I checked MSN2 (formerly WebTV) and it seems to be
rather full-featured.

GM's as well as Ford's upper management are positioning their companies so
that they have a plausible reason become bankrupt. This is so they can
forsake their massive pension obligations to their retired workforce. The
pensions which their Unions so rightly faught for over many years.

Forget about quality and an imaginative designs. They have purposely gutted
their engineering teams of any quality talent.
