Hi Jan; willkommen zu C. O. Forum. You are in a good forum for Oldsmobile. There are many on the forum with much knowledge. There are also some in Germany and other parts of Europe. Put photos of your car on the forum if possible. If you have questions you can search the comments or ask a new question.

Welcome aboard, There is a ongoing thread on the vintage forum that addresses the 46-48 era cars specifically and has been very helpful for many, you might drop in there when you have any questions. Very knowledgeable and helpful people hang there...... Tedd
