Are there any good Oldsmobile books out there I should be looking at??? I am interested in books about Oldsmobile history & specific models.

Any help is appreciated.

I have a book called "Standard Catalog of Oldsmobile 1897 - 1997" by John Chevedden and Ron Kowalke. Krause Publications 1997 It includes some interesting info about a lot of Olds' with production figures and yearly changes. Not as indepth and complete as I would like but the best that I am aware of. Bruce

 

Thanks very much.

 

The "Cars of Oldsmobile" by Dennis Casteele lists virtually every model and production numbers through 1981.

 

Setting the Pace by Helen Earley James Walkinshaw. very good book on the history of Oldsmobile.

The Sullivan "Oldsmobile 4-4-2 and W-Machines Restoration Guide" has a lot of fact and figures and some history on those models up to '72.

If you are interested in Olds or any GM history check out the GM corporate wiki, you can add to it too if you have any interesting stories or info.
Drop down to "former divisions" on the left to access the Olds page.
