Description

Many hero cars from the musclecar era of the late 1960s and early 1970s didn’t start out as heros. They began as secrets, often developed as covert after-hours projects. Built in secret and even sold in secret. And as far as deep and dark automotive secrets go, few were any deeper or darker than Oldsmobile’s W-30. It was so secret, in fact, that most of the company’s dealers weren’t even aware it existed. The W-30 was meant to win races on Sunday and sell Oldsmobiles on Monday.
