The 1901 to 1904 Curved Dash was the first mass-produced car, made from the first automotive assembly line, an invention that is often miscredited to Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company For the 1940 model, Oldsmobile was the first auto manufacturer to offer a fully automatic transmission, called the Hydramatic, which featured four forward speeds. In 1971, the Ford car company built an experimental airbag fleet. General Motors tested airbags on the 1973 model Chevrolet automobile that were only sold for government use. The 1974, Oldsmobile Toronado was the first car with a passenger air bag intended for sale to the public. General Motors later offered an option to the general public of driver side airbags in full-sized Oldsmobile’s and Buick’s in 1975 and 1976 respectively. 1995 Oldsmobile presented Guidestar®, the first on-board navigation system to be offered on a production car. 1974 The Toronado was the first American car to offer a driver’s side air bag. source: 2 Notable achievements included the introduction of the first turbocharged engine in 1962 (the Turbo Jetfire), the first modern front-wheel drive car produced in the United States 1926 Oldsmobile was the first to introduce chrome plated trim, an important styling asset. It was first used on the radiator shell. source: 2 1939 Oldsmobile’s 1940 models featured Hydra-Matic drive, making this lineup the first vehicles with fully automatic transmission.

yea, olds had a good run, so did pontiac but they both are/were under gm so everyone wins. do you even have an olds? cause I found an alero on the side of the road that said: Free, no one else wants me but stubborn fanny bandits that like to claim that in 1962 (47 years ago) there car did something that set some type of standard that noone cares to use or everyone now has installed stock. ---

Chevy had a turbo car in 1962, the Corvair. The injection setup in the 62 olds 215 was a 1/2 methyl alchohol 1/2 water mix, to try to prevent detonation due to the 10:1 compression ratio. Boost was limited to 5PSI. It was discontinued in 64 due to reliability issues The corvair had an 8.0:1 compression and did not require water injection. ---
