    The Artwork of Ralph Allen Massey

    The year 1978 was a great era for Oldsmobile



    1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme advertising


    Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.


    I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public.
