Hanbury - Head Complaints} Youngren, Esq., Chief Engineer, Oldsmobile Automobile Co., Lansing, Michigan. U.S.A. Dear Mr. Youngren, We are contemplating purchasing a new 6-cylinder Oldsmobile car but before doing so, wonder whether you can tell us if any alterations of any importance have been made to the car lately. The number of the car which we have is 34497, Chassis No.S424648. One point in which we are particularly interested is the life of the main bearings. Yours sincerely, | ||
