1940 OLDS CABRIOLET BODY #4--GM "SHOW JOB"

[BILL DANA]

A WHILE AGO I ACQUIRED A 1940 OLDS F40 CABRIOLET 6CYL W/HYDRAMATIC TRANS---RECENTLY WHILE SERVICING THE VALVES WE HAD TO REMOVE THE INNER FENDER AND FOUND ATTACHED TO ONE OF THE FENDER MOUNTING BOLTS A METAL TAG ATTACHED BY WIRE TO THE BOLT

THIS METAL TAG WAS HANGING DOWN BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER FENDER SO IT WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY VISIBLE---ON REMOVING 68 YEARS OF ACCUMULATED GRIME WE FOUND THE FOLLOWING HAND-STAMPED INSCRIPTION----"SHOW JOB"

THIS MAY BE THE VERY FIRST OLDS CABRIOLET (OR ANY OLDS FOR THAT MATTER) INSTALLED WITH HYDRAMATIC AND SET ASIDE FROM THE ASSEMBLY LINE TO BE USED FOR DISPLAY AT THE DETROIT AND OTHER AUTO SHOWS

ANY HELP WITH PHOTOS OR INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED OR LEADS TO OBTAIN SAME---THE VEHICLE IS VERY NICE CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE AND SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE CONDITION IT WAS SHOWN

PLEASE CALL ME AT 631-298-3577 LEAVE MESSAGE IF NOT IN (ALL CALLS RETURNED) OR EMAIL: wmdanacpa@aol.com

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR HELP------BILL DANA
