1940 Olds
Thanks Alan, I checked with Classic Car Database and while it gave some info it really did nothing for the data plate info I mentioned in my last post. Hopefully someone out there can help me on that further.

BTW; welcome to Classic Oldsmobile . Post up a picture of your 40 when you can, Does it have a Hydramatic ?
Did you know the 1940 Olds was the first car to offer a fully automatic transmission ?

Thanks Charlie, Just checked the paint code and it indeed is Catalina Gray. Guess I'll be re painting back to original color. Didn't care for the black anyway. Will post a pic as soon as I know how,lol.

It has the following that as far as I have discovered are all options: radio and antenna, clock and light for dashboard, cigar lighter and ashtray beside clock, fog lights, floor heater and circulater under front seat, and running boards which according to classic car data base was an option. Why on earth when it was restored many many years ago they changed the color to black is beyond me, but needless to say we will change it back to Catalina Gray. Thanks guys for everything and I know I will have more questions as we bring her back to her former glory.
