attached hood extension After receiving numerous complaints from dealership mechanics about hurting their heads on the extension Oldsmobile changed the style of the hood in 1970 removing the extension resulting in a flatter hood design Between 1965 and 1975 Oldsmobile commissioned Cotner Bevington to build professional cars ambulances and hearses using the large Ninety Eight chassis Ironically

hp 254 kW and designed to run on lower octane regular lead low lead or unleaded gasoline for the first time this year thanks to a General Motors mandate that all engines be designed to run on such fuels in preparation for the catalytic converter equipped cars of 1975 and later years that absolutely required unleaded gasoline Despite this a few 1975 and 1976 Ninety Eights were released from this catalytic converter requirement in Canada and were given certification along with exemption from requiring unleaded gasoline V8 s were progressively detuned as production wore on in line with tighter emission standards A new bodyshell was introduced this year that would last until the 1976 model year They were the biggest and heaviest Oldsmobiles ever built specifically the 1974 to 1976 models when federally mandated 5 mph 8 0 km h bumpers were added both front and rear that increased the overall length of the cars by several inches to 232 2 5898 mm Trunk mounted louvers for the flow
