There has...

only been one car with an "O" that lasted very long,
and Oldsmobile is not the tune, not in this song,
but other have lasted for just a few years,
and while they diminished, few shed tears.

But the Oakland was the first General Motors "O" car,
it followed the Chevy, but wasn't a star;
so after a few years Oakland was gone by,
Chevy was followed by Pontiac - that's a reason why.

Top: 1923 Oakland, Maine roads still ride like this one!
Middle: 1924 Oakland, the perfection of Japan Blue Lacquer.
Bottom: 1928, by then Oakland was nearing the end.
