AlexH Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We have a 1940 4 door Olds convertible. I was looking for more information on what it is, i.e. series 90 phaeton? Also wanted to know where to start with a restoration. I know it's pretty rare, possible #26 of 50, but we do have a 1940 sedan that could help with parts, but really don't know where to begin. Anybody in particular that works on just these cars in the southeast? Thanks for any help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsfan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 You should talk to Mike Fusick of Fusick Automotive in Windsor Locks, CT. He's got body number 1.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeighR Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) This is an old thread but I have it’s younger sibling, a ‘41 Phaeton. Please share some photos if you have any. Edited March 2, 2019 by LeighR (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Only a year out this reply, but I hope this message finds you well and still enjoying your rare Oldsmobile. Anyway... Beautiful car! Makes me seriously second guess my recent plans to sell mine. I have storage and other projects issues presently but that is worth building another garage for. However, I’m not sure I would want to get the restoration bill. Here is one bad pic, but I will try to get some others up as I get it rolling again.

Bob Petters Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Progress being made on my 40 phaeton. Long process. Lots & lots of rust in the entire body. Have to practically make a new body. Bob Petters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Bob, did you buy the OP's '40? How many 1940 Oldsmobiles do you have now?!😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Petters Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I only have 2. This Phaeton and my L40 coupe that I have had for 50 years. Also a 53 S88 convt, but that is it. Planning to bring my 40 coupe to Lansing in August for the NAOC meet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
