- Lincoln Zephyr Automobile with the Diesel-Powered "Burlington Zephyr" Streamlined Train, December 1935 - This publicity photo posed a Lincoln Zephyr automobile beside the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad's <em>Pioneer Zephyr</em>.

- Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Ad, "The V6 Diesel," 1984 - As the price of gasoline climbed in the 1970s, Oldsmobile introduced a diesel-fueled V-8 engine for 1978. Four years later, a V-6 joined the lineup. Although Oldsmobile sold more than 300,000 diesel cars in 1981, the engines earned a reputation for unreliability. That, combined with falling gas prices and stricter emissions standards, ended Oldsmobile's diesels in 1985.
