JRM Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 This wonderful looking car was my Mom's first automobile. It's either a '46 or '47. Do you know which year it is and which model it might be? The photo is taken in the driveway, at our house in the late 40s, in Bristol, Rhode Island. The car was likely purchased in a Boston-area Olds dealership. It appears to be medium blue, or gray with a tan top. Thanks for your help.

Dave Henderson Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 '46 thru '48 were so similar that I have to conclude it could be any of those years. When I expand the picture a note says "Mom's Olds 1948" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi Dave, Thanks for your thoughts. The labeling of the picture was done by me....and since I'm unsure what year and model it is, the 1948 doesn't mean anything. It could be incorrect.

Fleek Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I can not pinpoint the year, but it appears to be a series 66. The 98 had a chrome strip on the rear fender and chrome rock shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiccarszone Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I just joined the group That picture is darn small :-) I magnified it, and it is very likely a 1947 '66' or '76' Oldsmobile convertibel. It is not a 1946, they had a wider, taller badge at the fender spear. It is not a 1948, because they had a steel mudguard (shiny!), this one has the rubber. I have a 1946 sea foam green convertible, btw Andreas classiccarszone.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Compare it with the sales brochures here: http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Oldsmobile/dirindex.html My guess is 47 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
