Rockets, Vikings and Your Old Man

摘要

A history from 1916-2001 Oldsmobile V8s can be grouped into five "generations." The company produced its first V8 - an L-head design - in the years 1916-1923. The year 1949 marked the return of Oldsmobile V8s with the famous "Rocket" engine. A major change in design and engineering of Oldsmobile V8s took place in 1964. The last two-valves-per-cylinder overhead valve Oldsmobile V8 came in 1990. In 1995, the fifth generation Oldsmobile V8s began with the double-overhead-cam Aurora engine. Oldsmobile also built 1929-1930 Viking V8s.
