NORBI Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hey did any of you Oldsmobile owners happened that all the people confure your Oldsmobile with Buick it happens to me all the time when they call Oldsmobiles a Buick and that pisses me off and i always have to correct them. No offense to Buick owners here. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrulz4u Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 It happens to ALL makes/models of cars! I've seen Buicks called Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs called Chevy's, Acura's called Honda's etc. It's to be expected in a day where almost all cars are being based on the same chasis with the same engine, built by the same plant etc. No big deal...

PJB Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 My dad always calls an Olds 88 my friend has for sale a Buick. He kept telling me how much he liked the tan Buick and I had no idea what he was talking about at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 My mom confused my friend's black '95 Monte Carlo Z34 for my sister's dark gray '93 Honda Accord LX 4-dr! Women. You have friends?

TeeJay3800 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I agree that all makes and models are confused sometimes, but I do think it happens more often to Oldsmobile and Buicks. I've had friends refer to my car as a Buick. They say that to stereotype it as an "old persons car." To that I simply say, hey, those are ROCKET emblems!

TeeJay3800 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 buick invented the OHV. Wrong. Oldsmobile came out with the first OHV motor, the Rocket V8 in 1948 (I think).
