identifying 47 Oldsmobile
I'm looking at a parts Olds. Owner knows it's a 1947 but not which model. I don't know very much more than he does except I can use some 1947 sheet metal and trim stuff from a 60 series.
Here is what he sent me for information off the ID tag:
Style no.47-3519
body no.c878
Can anyone help with the model ID from this information
Thanks,
Jerry

Hmm...
Does it have a straight 6 or straight 8 engine? That is the second part of the series number. If you can get a picture post it and someone might be able to help you. Hopefully those numbers will come in handy too.

If it had the straight 8 then its a series 76. The series 60 only came with a six. They do share many of the same body parts. There is a GM cross reference book available, you can sometimes find them on e-bay. Buick, Olds, & pontiac share many of the same body and mech parts from 46-48

I understand there is a wrecking yard in Vancover, WA that has quite a few 40's cars with a few being Oldsmobiles. might do an on line search for it. I check and see if I can find it. There were a few grills on e-bay a week or so ago. type in 1947 Olds and check it out

http://www.allamericanclassics.com/ I know them and I have seen the 48 Series 70 they have which has been picked over like a month old zebra carcass on the Serengeti Plains. I live about 25 mi. from there and will go there when there is no other option. Very high prices but they will let you wander around without tools.
Thanks for the tip. If you get down this way give me a holler. A couple of pretty good show n' shines coming up at Ocean Park WA (Rod Run To The End of The Earth) and at Seaside, OR the same weekend-after-labor-day.
The two towns are about 25 mi. apart. Usually around 1,200 cars at Ocean Park.
