Weekend question
5 Answers 2 pts each. Please only give one answer. The first 5 people to answer will get 2 points.
Oldsmobile had to wait until 1949 for their first Indy pace car with their mid-size, V-8 powered 88. In the early days of stock car racing, the Oldsmobile 88 established itself as the car to beat. The Olds was also arguably the first of what later became known as the "muscle car." It all started with SV 49, an experimental short-stroke, high-compression V-8 designed by Gilbert Burrell based on principles developed by GM engine whiz Charles Kettering. Though it ran well, GM forced Olds to can the project-probably because Cadillac, which was secretly developing a similar modern V-8, didn't want any intramural competition
Give me a year and model that Olds paced the Indy 500. No duplicating answers. There is at least 9 to choose from since I already gave you 1949.
