Yeah. They were really nice family sedans in the 40s/50s with good racing heritage from the 30s that they cashed in with the Rocket 88 engines in 1949 - some consider those as the first muscle cars. GM visionless ownership didn't help and they got lumped into the morass of the 70s and 80s era and that's when they became, like Buick and Pontiac, the car for old people. GM killed the brand in the 90s. They were the oldest American car brand for a long time.
