For the registration of the car on German streets, German authorities need a data sheet for the 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible that I own. I found the general data that is on the sales brochure and partially in the manual, but I constantly miss an overview that includes the curb weight. I saw the total listing somewhere including the curb weight, but I cannot find it again. Can you help with a photocopy of a data sheet?
I don't have a data sheet, but you might get a copy of the Standard Catalog of Oldsmobile, by John Chevedden and Ron Kowalke. It lists a lot of information, including the shipping weight for the 56 Super 88 Convertible : 3947 lbs.
Check in on www.carnut.com They have a spec page on your car similar to the Chiltons. It gives curb weight range from top to bottom. Plus you'll be able to view a lot of other examples of most anything you can think of in cars...........
