Each Car Is Registered And Recorded
Jack “Doc” Watson had an early passion for automotive development that spurred him to create after-market products and specialty vehicles during his 50-year career.
Among his accomplishments was the development of the first Hurst Oldsmobile in 1968 and co-inventing the Jaws of Life rescue tool.
Mr. Watson, who had been working with inventor George Hurst on various General Motors programs, began working for him full time.
Before his Hurst days, Doc worked with fabled Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov who, along with Ed Cole, was called the father of the small-block Chevrolet, and Castelletto Dolza, better known as John Dolza, who developed the thinwall, rocker-ball rocker-arm assembly for the small-block Chevrolet. Doc worked with GM and developed "Super Duty" groups within each division.
In 1968, General Motors had a rule. No engine larger than 400 cubic inches could be installed in any intermediate body. That included GTOs, Cutlasses, Chevelles and Skylarks. But George Hurst had a 455-cu.in. V-8 installed in a 1968 Olds 4-4-2. He found the swap to be easy, and ironically, the 455 weighed less than the 400-cu.in. engine it replaced. Doc took George's idea several steps further and added special paint, a Hurst shifter, some engine modifications and a walnut dash appliqué. The Hurst/Olds was thus born, and today is among the most highly prized of all muscle cars. The first Hurst/Olds had 390hp and featured a Toronado-only color-Peruvian Silver accented with black stripes and a black trunk lid. The first 4-4-2s also got the Toronado's 455 with a lumpy cam, big-valve heads, and modified carburetor and distributor. Also in the package was the W30 Ram Air system and red plastic front inner fender liners, which were the idea of John Beltz, an Olds engineer, whom Doc approached about building the Hurst/Olds. The Hurst/Olds conversions from plain-Jane Cutlasses were handled by Demmer Engineering in Lansing. Demmer had about 30 days to convert the planned run of 500 cars. Olds had thousands of orders and couldn't fill them. The final number of 515 cars was built to accommodate a Lansing-area Oldsmobile dealer that demanded more Hurst/Oldses. Being the success it was, the first Hurst/Olds cemented a highly successful relationship between Hurst Performance of Warminster, Pennsylvania, and Oldsmobile. In 1969, Hurst/Olds sales nearly doubled, to 912 hardtops and two convertibles.
Among his contributions to Hurst's company was his operation of the Hurst Aid support trailer, with a complete machine shop, at racing events. Mr. Watson earned the nickname “Shifty Doctor” for his mechanical prowess as he helped racers get through tech inspection free of charge, his son said.
Mr. Watson's experience also included creating 87 niche-market special vehicle programs and managing the building of more than 137,500 special vehicles.
Doc's greatest accomplishments was his involvement in the development of what is now known as the Jaws of Life tool, named for his father's initials J.A.W.
