Highlights:

– Kept indoors in a moisture-free storage space

– Rare surviving example of Oldsmobile’s prewar Series 70 six-cylinder line

The seller offers for sale this 1939 Oldsmobile Series 70, powered by a 3.2-litre inline-six engine, paired with a manual transmission. Introduced as Oldsmobile’s senior six-cylinder line for 1939, the Series 70 rode on a longer 120-inch chassis than its junior Series 60 stablemate and shared its handsome General Motors body styling with contemporaries from Buick and Pontiac, giving it a more substantial and formal road presence than the smaller Oldsmobile. Nearly ninety years on, surviving examples of this prewar six-cylinder Oldsmobile are scarce, particularly outside North America, making this a notable find for collectors of prewar American cars.

This particular car has been refurbished in-house by its current owner and has always been kept indoors in a moisture-free space, a combination that has helped preserve its presentation over the years. It is finished in red with whitewall tyres and chrome trim typical of the era, and offers an opportunity to acquire a rare six-cylinder Oldsmobile from the final years before the Second World War.
