This 272 kg (600-pound) reduction bas been achieved by usage of lighter-weight materials and the redesigning of cars during the past ive years. A composite 1981 Olds- mobile has about 90 kg (200 pounds) of plastics, 59 kg (130 pounds) of aluminum, 862 kg (1,900 pounds) of steel and 233 kg- (515 pounds) of cast iron. Other materials make up the additional 206 Oldsmobile will introduce reinforced reaction injection moulded fenders on the Sport Omega. This is the first time a car company bas used the material to build production parts. The fenders are formed from two resins. ..polyol and isocyanate .. . reinforced with milled fiberglass. The fenders are painted mith flexible acrylic enamel, the saine paint used on the urethane bumper fillers and soft fascia of other cars. These fenders save about 5 kg (10 pounds) of weight over a comparable steel fender and have the additional advantages of flexing back after minor impacts and not corroding. -Another light-weight material usage is also on the Sport Omega - soft fascia on the front and rear sty.ing. New styling on Cutlass Supreme coupes dictated the use of soft fascia covering for front and rear bumpers. Alumninumn continues to be used for the intake manifold on some 5.0-litre gasoline- powered Oldsmobiles. This saves approximately 15 kg (34 pounds) per car. 0F OUR NEW FACILITIES WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24th & 25th 7-9:30 P.M.
