History

Before the war Oldsmobile offered two type of engines: Six and eight cylinder 'inline' units. Starting with 1941 Olds offered both engines on each series. To differentiate the second digit in the style number was the cylinders count: So a '66' denotes a 60 series car with a six cylinder engine (inline six). The manufacturer also offered 68 and 78 cars with inline eight power.

The 66 used a 238 cu in straight-6 engine. All series 60s cars came either with a three-speed manual shift or with the optional 'Hydramatic' transmission. These transmissions are four speed. Because of the column shift and a wider body styling three passengers could sit comfortably in front.
In 1946 the lineup consisted of a 6-passenger two-door Club Coupe with a rear seat. Old also offered a 2-door and a 4-door sedan. Finally the manufacturer also sold a 4-door 8-passenger 'woody' station wagon and a 2-door convertible.
