-- [ From: Ron Young * EMC.Ver #3.2 ] --
I seem to remember that GM got into a lot of trouble in the late 70's or early
80's because they were putting Chevrolet engines in Buicks, Pontiacs, and
Oldsmobiles. People seemed to lack a sense of humor when they bought a B,P, or
O and got a Chevrolet engine. Anyone remember more specific details?

Two comments, back then we did not have the lawyers swarming over
everything and lots of products and metheods occured that would get you
in trouble today. Also, remember when G. M. got caught putting Chevy
engines in Oldsmobiles and paid fines and began the disclosure that
engines are built by General Motors.Back then anything was possible.
