Guest Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Does anyone know if Oldsmobile made a Diesel model in 1960? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 NO! Did you type wrong and are asking about the ill-fated 350 diesel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BruceW Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Oldsmobile built the first diesel engine used in an American passenger car in 1978. This is the ill fated 350 that Steve referred to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stllrng. Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I did see once, a 1959 Oldsmobile 4-door, that someone had swapped in a Caterpillar 3208 v-8 diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill pritchett Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I have a 1961 Olds and like 1960 the only engine available was the 394 if I am not mistaken. The F-85 did have a smaller engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 57 pontiac Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 My brother had a F 85, that was a nice little car. The one he had was a station wagon that had the electric tailgate. I wonder if any of them are still around ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
