It sounds like an old German PzKW Panther V tank, and it probably gets similar fuel mileage! I worked on many of these cars in the 1970's. They were more maintenance intensive than cars now, ..... EXCEPT that when a car fails now, 98% of drivers have no idea how to diagnose and fix them.

@bestamerica Well it's a little less safe but there's nothing you can do about it now, the cars have been made. I've driven a car from 1929 that didn't have any seatbelts so this Oldsmobile is much safer, lol.

I had an Olds 98 like the car in this video and nobody crashed into me despite my shitty driving (I was inexperienced at the time). The lights do a good enough job.

it is still not good, not safety,,,

red light is STOP only,,,

yellow light is turning sign / parking emergency,,,

same as 2 front amber lights near headlights,,,

yes separate lights are better

[obscureluzername]

@bestamerica I don't think any American cars from this era had amber "turning sign" or turn signals. Instead of separate coloured lights the red brake lights flash intermittently to indicate a turn is intended.

how come this car do not have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights for turning sign and emergency parking lot
