Am a big fan of Oldsmobile, but this Olds looks too boxy and heavy. The Merc design on its side suggests a smooth, swift motion punctuated by the arrow-like point starting at the grille and creating a nice line all the way to the rear fin. Even though the Olds has a similar design on the side, it is too thick and heavy-looking with the chrome accent above which seems as though it might have been just an afterthought. To me, the chrome edge appear as a very sharp edge and is unnecessary. A rounded, un-chromed edge would have looked far better IMHO.
