Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this elegant 1940 Oldsmobile Series 70 - a pre-war American classic that embodies the grace, craftsmanship, and innovation of its time.

The grey cloth interior completes the sophisticated look, offering a period-correct cabin that's both inviting and charming.

Power comes from a stout inline 6-cylinder engine, known for its reliability and smooth operation. Paired to an automatic transmission - a cutting-edge feature for its time - this Oldsmobile was among the first American cars to bring effortless shifting to the masses. The result is a classic that drives with surprising ease, making it a joy whether on a relaxed cruise or pulling into a car show.
