1950奧爾茲莫比爾牌88斜背式轎車

1950 Oldsmobile 88 Fastback

????曾幾何時(shí)，在通用汽車旗下的幾大品牌里，奧爾茲莫比爾（Oldsmobile）總是設(shè)計(jì)上最潮的那一個(gè)。88轎車更是奧爾茲莫比爾車系里造型最潮的一款。同下文將提到的納什（Nash）和德加（Tucker）出品的兩款轎車一樣，88也用了斜背式設(shè)計(jì)，車頂后部平滑地向下傾斜，直至后保險(xiǎn)杠處，也就是后備箱底部。這款造型因其平滑圓潤(rùn)的造型而備受消費(fèi)者好評(píng)，不過(guò)后排空間的擁擠和后視造型的不美觀，也使這款轎車頗受詬病——當(dāng)然許多人對(duì)當(dāng)代的四門(mén)轎跑也有同樣的報(bào)怨。這些優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)最終都被當(dāng)代的凹背式四門(mén)轎跑繼承了下來(lái)。

????Once upon a time, Olds was a styling leader for General Motors, and the 88 was the image leader for Olds. Like the Nash and the Tucker, it had a roof that sloped continuously down at the back, all the way to the base of the trunk at the rear bumper. Praised for their slipperiness, fastbacks pinched rear-seat passengers and penalized rear vision -- complaints that would also be made about modern coupe-styled sedans -- and were eventually succeeded by more modern notchbacks.
