Olds 98 Love: Noah Webster or Public Enemy?

With the Oldsmobile division just 13 years from getting stuffed into The Crusher, GM decided to go with Noah Webster's great-great-great-great grandson to pitch the 1991 Olds 98. See, when you look up "Luxury" in the Webster's… well, you should see a photo of the '91 Olds. With much the same "cheap-ass luxury" theme as the '70 Impala ad we saw a while back, we've got to admit we're not really convinced by this ad. However, there's another pitch for the Olds 98 that makes us feel better about the car…

Sure, Chuck D dusted those boys off in an 80s box Ninety-Eight with rear-wheel-drive (and turbocharging, if we are to take his lyrics literally), but you get the idea. Suckers (and Achievas) to the side!
