Pre-war Olds experts, I have a question...

we need help finding a 1940 Olds dog house (fenders/grill/etc.) for a wreck repair. is there a difference in the grills or trim for different models?

we're looking for sixty series parts. does olds use that designation like cadillac does for the base models? thanks in advance...

 

I have a '42 MoToR's Auto Repair Manual which lists the '40 Oldsmobile models as follows:

Six "60"........F-40 (wheelbase 116")
Six "70"........G-40 (wheelbase 120")
Eight "90"......L-40 (wheelbase 124")

 

Yep, the Olds IS like the Buick and Caddy with different wheelbases and likely different front sheet metal although you'd have to check to be sure in the sheet metal interchange area of the Hollander.

 

99% positive the different series will each have its own fenders..


I am an optimist.. but
good freakin luck..

and of course, nothing else even comes close
