hello
in first i hope you can scuse me because i'me french so my english is not perfect

i've bought a oldsmobile in hollande and the type of my vehicule on the "grey card""circulation certificat" (i'don't know what is the real name to your country) is 94

but i've never seen an oldsmobile type 94 that why i hope you can light me about this ??

and it write is a 1958 cars but i think it's a 1955...

so can i have some photographie about some oldsmobile 1955 and 1958 type 94 if it exist ?

thank's you very much and if you can't understand my post send me a email and i try to explain you....

bye

Welcome to our site!

By the mid 1950's the model numbers were "88" or "98". The first digit indicated the body size, the "80" series were smaller than the "90" series. The second digit indicated a V8 engine which was the standard engine in use by the 1950's. So the 88 car was samller than the 98 car, there were no 94 cars as Oldsmobile never used a four cylinder engine in the 1950's to my knowledge and surely even if they did have one it would not be put in the largest body style built at the time.

Too many #s in the VIN for any of those years

Oldsguy

YoYo, I am going to put a picture of your car on another website that I frequent, they are more into customs, hot-rods and low-riders limited to any car not newer than 1965. Some of those guys can really recognize body styles and many are old enough to remember fifties era cars as they were young men then. The place is Jalopyjournal and the forum is called Hokey Assed Message Board (HAMB for short). You might check them out.
