The
Series 60 was a model range of automobiles from
General Motors Corporation Oldsmobile Division during the 1940s. In Oldsmobile's naming convention, the Series 60 occupied the entry level position for Oldsmobiles sold in the United States during the late 1930s and throughout the 1940s.
Series 60 were built on the shorter (119 in) of two wheelbases used by Oldsmobile at this time, and trimmed in an entry level fashion. In parts and components, the Series 60 models were related to Chevrolet and the junior Pontiacs.
Two models were produced, the
66 which used a 238 in³ straight-6 engine and the
68 which used a
straight-8. All series 60's came with a three-speed column shift manual, or the optional four-speed
Hydramatic automatic. Both options could be paired with either engine choice.
The line up consisted of a two-door club coupe, two-door "Fleetline", four-door "bustle back", four-door 9-seat wood bodied station wagon (a.k.a. "Woody") and a convertible. Except the convertible and station wagon, all were available in either "Standard" or "De Luxe" trim versions.
Cars were also exported to
South Africa and
Australia in
complete knock down (CKD) form for local assembly. In Australia, local
Holden bodies were fitted and these cars are completely different from the scuttle back and were the last GM cars to feature "suicide doors" (hinged at the back).
The
Series 60 model designation was retired after
1948, the L-head six cylinder was then uprated to 257 in³ and used in the Oldsmobile Series 70 models which were discontinued in 1950.
