Odsmobile was out-of-business. This brand (one of GM) was "vaporized" from the earth already. So, stay way, dude.

I agree.
Believe it or not, my first car was an Olds Cutlass 2dr (sporty look).
I bought it because at the time my relatives told me "to buy American car to avoid being crushed in accident".
That car got me so much trouble.
Well, it trained me to be a home mechanic ... thanks to Olds.
And finally I got rid of it after an accident.
Since then, I switch to Jap car as my daily driving tool.
