Final Oldsmobile ends era with last car line
The last Oldsmobile rolled off the Lansing Car Assembly line in Michigan ending the veteran brand. The Alero will be signed inside its hood and shown at the R E Olds Transportation Museum for about four months. Oldsmobile, named after founder Ransom E. Olds, started in 1897 and joined GM in 1908. The brand faded as buyers shifted to minivans and SUVs amid tough competition from imports.

Stocks take a tumble as GDP miss spooks investors
Stocks fell late Thursday after a lower than expected GDP figure failed to ease rate fears. The Dow dropped about 70 points, extending a two day decline over 200 points, while all three major indexes hit fresh lows in over a month. Analysts said the weaker growth may only delay, not prevent, a Federal Reserve rate hike, with comments from Todd Leone noting a temporary relief but possible postponement.
