Re: the olds-pontiac rear

I have been told by several sources, including a GM dealer rep from the time, that the rear end was designed at GM and used up to the 1957 model year. At the time, it was one of the strongest units readily available.

Later that year, Ford scooped up several of the GM design engineers, and the in next year couple years, the design showed up (with modifications) as the Ford 9" and derivatives.
