The $100,000 Mistake: Oldsmobile’s Jetway 707 Was a Massive Failure
🚗 Oldsmobile’s Biggest Disaster: The Jetway 707 🚗
In 1968, Oldsmobile teamed up with American Quality Coach (AQC) to create the Jetway 707 — a six-wheeled, 28-foot-long luxury limousine designed to transport up to 15 passengers. Built on the Toronado platform, it featured a powerful 455 cubic inch V8 engine and front-wheel drive.
