Did Olds make a model 76 convertible in 47?

There was a dash for sale on ebay and the guy said it came out of a model 76 vert, but I can't find that model listed anywhere. I found a model 68 vert, and a 98 vert, but no 76. Can anyone here tell me if that model existed, or was the guy just mistaken?

Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks Jerry, that's what I thought. Is yours a model 68?

Hmmm... after a bit of research, I have come to the conclusion that the dash on ebay is out of a 70 series, but it's not a convertible. The guy must have his facts wrong

1946 convertible was made in only produced in the 66 model
1947-1948 convertible was only produced in the 66 & 68 model

The 98 convertible in the old body style was only produced in 1946 & 1947 and it was called a convertible Coupe. The only 98 produced in 1948 was the Futuramic body style and they did have a convertible.

Information is from my original 1948 Oldsmobile Chassis parts book
