Oldsmobile Series 70 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1939–1940) — First Generation
If you’re considering a first-generation Oldsmobile Series 70 Coupe, give its mechanical condition as much attention as its styling. Understanding the powertrain helps you judge both the driving experience and a potential purchase.
One example is the 3.8 MT Coupe, which pairs a gasoline engine with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. You operate the clutch and select gears yourself, while power reaches the rear wheels. When assessing this powertrain, check engine smoothness, clutch engagement and whether the transmission shifts cleanly.
