Tonight's Topic: "Oh-My-Olds!"
Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us tonight.
We hope you'll discover something interesting during the time we spend together on the Insomniac Net for the next 90+ minutes.
-- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
(Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)

On this day in 2004 -- April 29th -- the last Oldsmobile came off the assembly line at the Lansing Car Assembly plant in Michigan, signaling the end of the 106-year-old automotive brand.
In 1897, Ransom E. Olds (1864-1950), an Ohio-born engine maker, founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in Lansing.
In 1901, the company, then known as Olds Motor Works, debuted the Curved Dash Oldsmobile, a gas-powered, open-carriage vehicle at a price of $650 each (around $17,000 in today’s dollars).
Acquired in 1908, Oldsmobile became a top brand for General Motors (GM).
Sixty-eight years later in 1976 -- also on this date -- LW bought his very first brand new car: a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme coupe.
To mark this historic event, we offer for your approval, 3 True-or-False ("TorF") questions about LW's most favorite auto brand: the Oldsmobile! Please give us your best answer for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.
Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
Ok, dig out your latest road maps, fill up the tank, and lock your gas tank cap -- Let's go for a ride!
BUT first, a word from our Sponsor:

-- Ransom E. Olds’ invention inspired a 1905 song, “In My Merry Oldsmobile”, whose chorus includes the lines:
“Come away with me, Lucille / In my merry Oldsmobile / Down the road of life we’ll fly / Automobubbling, you and I.”

"1976 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS -- Boomers Go A-Courtin’
Olds’ Cutlass muscled in on the best-seller action for 1976 thanks largely to strong sales of the Supreme coupe, which -- along with the Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Chrysler Cordoba -- appealed to optimistic Baby Boomers who were single and looking to lure the attractive sex with a flashy long-hood/short deck two-door with all the bells and whistles. ("Exactly!!! -- K7LWA)
After six generations on several platforms, the Cutlass nameplate ranked as the world’s 15th best-seller."
