Ford-Mecury-Edsel-Lincoln-Continental all (mostly) used common engines with brand ID stamped valve covers - as did the 50’s on Plymouth-Dodge-DeSoto-Chrysler-Imperial

General Motors went the indivdual brand engine route (mostly) - even for some 6 and 4 cylinder engines

Now GM is using (and did on some Pony Cars) using Chevy engines or Chevy-based engines in other lines/brands

Chevy
Pontiac
Olds
Buick
Caddy

That was an expensive management decision

All produced some great engines - or not

But GM put itself at a financial and engineering disadvantage by choosing to manufacture engines for each brand

Some Firebirds had Olds engines instead of Pontiacs

The old ‘55 Chevy V8 evolved to the Chevy Corvette engines - of today - over time

You make stupid decisions -

Present Obama fires your President - takes over your company

Makes sure new Buick TV ads are homo-friendly - and now the new Chevy VOLT TV ads have dancers-singers in the bi-sexual theme

Make you want to buy a GN car now - Right?

Michelle LaVaugh *Robinson(check the WTC sub-contactor work just prior to 9-11) Obama is picking the TV ad agendas at GM

Bailout-Bound while Ford makes big profits as a private corporation

Interesting post devolve, confusing to me as all I did was mention pretty cars and I haven’t followed all “these connections”. Maybe someone further upthread mentioned this.

For a second I thought Calpernia was back.
