Bob51: The point that I was trying to get across is as follows.

We have a fellow that posts here complaining about the so called problems of post war Packards. If you do some careful research you will find out that during the 50's GM had many problems with the new cars they produced.

Maybe it is just plain time for a person to point out the mechanical problems GM had during the 40's and mid 50's. People like BH already pointed out some problems that GM had with the hydramatic

It seems that right out of the starting box GM's 49 Oldsmobile had about three problems.

1. Front oil pump on the hydromatic
2. Rear oil pump on the hydramatic
3. Possible rear axle problems.

Now if Oldsmobile had these kind of problems in 1949 it seems to me that the same thing could apply to the new Caddies of 1949.
